The Public Spaces Protection Order - Blaby District Council 2022

Blaby District Council is currently running a consultation on its Public Spaces Protection Order.

Under the order, dogs are required to be kept on a lead in cemeteries, graveyards, churchyards and burial grounds, or areas signed as "dog on a lead." The order also covers the car parks and children's play area at Fosse Meadows Country Park in Sharnford.

The requirement for dogs to be on a lead in these specific areas of Fosse Meadows is in response to complaints received by the Council.

Owners who fail to keep their dogs on a lead in these areas can be given a fixed penalty notice of £100.

First introduced in 2016, the order was renewed in November 2019, and the Council is seeking to extend this from November 2022 for a period of three years.

This consultation will run until 31 August 2022.

If you wish to make a comment on this consultation please send an email to Environmental.Services@blaby.gov.uk using the reference 'PSPO 2022'.
