Dog Control PSPO - Restore the dog limit to 6.

We the undersigned petition the council to reconsider their decision to apply a blanket 4 dogs per person rule across the entire borough, and reintroduce the 6 dog limit which had worked perfectly well for years before under the previous PSPO's. We ask that the council reconsider this decision.

This cross borough reduction is a heavy handed approach, and does not consider the different outside spaces, their size, type, footfall and facilities, or lack of.
The decision has been made based upon a public consultation which received responses from 561 people, in a borough which has around 150,000 residents.
In addition, the arbitrary application of a 4 dog rule will have a hugely detrimental effect on not only people with more than 4 dogs of their own but also those people who walk dogs for their job. The business insurance companies cover the majority of individuals to walk 6 and many people have been doing so for a number of years with no issues.

This ePetition runs from 04/09/2024 to 30/10/2024.
