Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, in South Wales, is set to consult on extending dog controls in the county borough from October 2026. One public space protection order (PSPO) on dog fouling covers the borough as a whole and one is specific to Aberdare Park, which says that dogs must be kept on leads at all times. Other restrictions under the PSPOs are that dogs are banned from all schools, children’s play areas, and marked sports pitches maintained by the council, and dogs must be kept on a lead at all times in council-maintained cemeteries. The orders have to be renewed every three years and, after consultation, the council renewed them in 2020 and 2023. The consultation, which runs until July 20, will be available on the council’s website. A report will go before cabinet with the feedback from the consultation and they will then make a decision as to whether to extend the PSPOs for three more years.
