- Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) for Dog Ownership Consultation
People are being invited to have their say on a review of dog control measures in County Durham.
Durham County Council introduced a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) for Dog Control in 2017 in response to community concerns about irresponsible dog ownership.
The PSPO, which gives the council powers to issue fines for offences such as dog fouling and allowing a dog to stray, is due for renewal in May. Therefore, the council is seeking views on proposals to add a number of further offences to the order, which would apply across the county
For full details of the proposals and to take part in the consultation, visit www.durham.gov.uk/consultation.
