Brighton and Hove reviews dog controls

Brighton and Hove City Council is holding a consultation over its public space protection orders, which restrict dogs from certain public spaces.

Under its current PSPO all dogs – excluding guide dogs, hearing dogs and disabled support dogs – have been banned from certain public beaches from May to September, some parks, and all cemeteries except for funerals since 2011.

In addition, since 2009 dogs must be kept on leads in all parts of Brighton and Hove, and the person in charge of the dog at the time must clean up any faeces.

The consultation, which can be accessed here on Brighton and Hove City Council’s website, closes on Sunday 3 September.
