The updated Public Spaces Protection Order 2021 – Dog Related Restrictions and Restrictions Relating to Smoking in Children’s Play Areas has been published on the Leeds City Council website link below. All dog owners should familiarised themselves with this Order.
In summary the main issues that it covers are:-
- Fouling – a citywide requirement for persons in charge of a dog to remove the dog’s faeces from land and dispose of it in a suitable manner.
- Means to pick up dog fouling – requires the person in control to carry the means to pick up after the dog under their control (usually poo bags).
- Dogs on lead by Direction – a city wide requirement that allows authorised officers to require dogs to be put on leads if they are causing nuisance or annoyance to people or animals.
- Dogs kept on Leads
