Stroud District Council is consulting on whether to extend it Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) on dog control for another three years. The current orders were extended in 2023 and will expire on 18 October 2026. No changes are being proposed to the PSPOs, which require those in control of dogs to: Pick up dog faeces. Put dogs on leads when directed to do so by an authorised officer. Keep dogs out of designated exclusion areas, such as children’s play areas. Keep dogs on leads in designated locations including allotments, cemeteries, car parks, canal towpaths, designated cycle tracks and specified footpaths used to reach schools and colleges. Environment Committee Chair, Martin Pearcy, said: “Anyone, dog owners and non-dog owners who have an opinion of these issues are encouraged to respond and feed into the consultation.” The consultation will end on 2 August 2026.
