Dog control measures under review by council

Dover District Council is looking to introduce a new PSPO

Residents in east Kent are being consulted on a council's plans to review its rules on dog control and anti-social behaviour.

Dover District Council (DDC) is looking to introduce a new Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) which includes proposals on where people can walk their dogs and where dogs need to be on leads.

The public is also being asked for views on alcohol consumption in public places.

A council spokesperson said it was looking to "amend the locations where restrictions apply".

PSPOs specify an area where activities take place that are or may be detrimental to the local community's quality of life.

DDC said proposed changes were for minor adjustments regarding dog control, and a change in the designated areas for restrictions on alcohol consumption in public places.

The consultation runs until 13 May.
