Boston Borough Council has approved an extension to its dog public space protection order (PSPO) in response to complaints about fouling and pets being out of control. The rules include the exclusion of dogs from children’s play areas that are fenced off, require dogs that are causing alarm or distress to be put on a lead, and require dog walkers to carry waste bags with them at all times. The order, which covers the whole borough, will remain in place for another three years. The council said a recent public consultation showed there was public support for the measures to be extended. Council leader Dale Broughton said: “There’s been quite a few issues with dogs out of control. This is exactly what we need.” Breaching the PSPO, has been in place since 2017, can lead to a £100 fine.
