Nottinghamshire council consults on dog controls

Rushcliffe Borough Council has launched a consultation on the renewal of the public spaces protection order (PSPO) for the control of dogs in the area.

The order covers the whole of the district – with the exception of an area of Tollerton – to control dog fouling, restrict dogs to leads in certain circumstances, and the prohibition of dogs in certain areas.

The council proposes to continue with the PSPO in its current form, as established in 2022, without amendment unless there is evidence and support for changes from the consultation.

The consultation will run until 7 March 2025 and all responses will be reported to the Council’s Cabinet meeting in May for consideration and approval.

If approved the PSPO will continue from 8 July 2025 for a further three years before a review is required again.
