Rossendale Council could tighten dog walking rules
Rossendale Council is set to introduce new dog controls, including tighter limits on the number of dogs that can be walked at the same time.
Councillors have been asked to renew the existing public space protection orders on dog walking in the town, but changes would see the number of dogs a person can take out for exercise cut from five to four.
The move comes after a report prepared for the council highlighted how issues like dog fouling and litter were a “key concern” for residents.
The council is expected to discuss the proposal to extend the orders to run for a further three years later this month.
