Somerset Council consults on dog controls

Somerset Council is consulting on proposals to renew its dog control measures, including fouling restrictions and exclusion zones in Somerset East.

Residents, businesses and visitors are being invited to give their views on proposals to renew the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) for dog control in Somerset East – the area formerly covered by Mendip District Council.

The PSPO for dogs in the area was due for renewal in July 2024, however it lapsed, and this consultation seeks views on reintroducing the expired order.

The order would reintroduce three restrictions, relating to dog fouling and dog control in the Somerset East area, for three years.

The proposed order also covers dog exclusion zones within the play areas designated for children aged under 5 in the Somerset East area.

The consultation closes on Monday, 17 February.
