📅 The consultation is open until 24 January 2025.

Information from Stratford on Avon District Council:

People across Stratford On Avon District are being asked for their views on a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) which allows the council to address dog fouling. There have been dog fouling orders across the district since 2009. This policy has been subject to regular reviews, with the last review taking place in 2020. A PSPO gives a local authority powers to tackle a particular nuisance by banning or restricting certain acts or behaviour in an area where it is having a negative effect on people’s quality of life. The PSPO applies to all public places, which for the purpose of this document, means any place to which the public or any section of the public has access, on payment or otherwise, as a right or virtue of express or implied permission (and for the avoidance of doubt, includes highways).

There have been minimal changes made to the new proposed PSPO since the last review in 2020. The proposed PSPO can be viewed here , and the previous PSPO (2020) can be viewed here .

Stratford On Avon District Council are asking all consultees to submit their views on the new PSPO via an online survey, which can be found here – PSPO Consultation Survey

The consultation period for the proposed PSPO lasts for 6 weeks, therefore all comments will need to be received by 24th January 2025.

This PSPO relates to the Stratford on Avon District area.
