Report of the Strategic Director of Place

Presented by the Community Services Portfolio Holder

Councillor A Woodman presented the report, which requested Cabinet’s renewal of a Public Spaces Protection Order which gave enforcement officers powers to deal with offences related to dogs, including fouling and exclusion from certain public areas. The required review had included a period of consultation, for which there had been a variety of responses as set out in the report although no objections to the renewal had been received.

Members welcomed the proposals on the basis that the existing Public Space Protection Order was considered to be working and the majority of dog owners always acted within the law.

It was moved by Councillor A Woodman, seconded by Councillor R Bayliss and

RESOLVED THAT CABINET

1)    Approves the renewal of an existing PSPO in relation to dog control across the administrative area of North West Leicestershire District Council

2)    Agrees to delegate the renewal of any future PSPO’s that do not require any amendments following consultation, to the relevant director.

Reason for decision: To enable a renewal and continuation of the existing PSPO for dog control across the administrative area of North West Leicestershire District Council.
