Public Space Protection Order (Dog Control) 2023

Tewkesbury Borough Council have tightened their rules on dog control – and are reminding dog owners to always clean up after their dog

The Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) was implemented to address the problem of dog fouling in public areas within the borough, aiming to ensure that everyone in charge of a dog acts responsibly by cleaning up its waste.

Thankfully, most people are picking up after their pets, but the small few who don’t are continuing to risk the health of others. Dog faeces carries the risk of disease, particularly Toxocariasis – an infection caused by roundworm parasites

The order makes it an offence for dog walkers to not clean up after their dog in any public place, and to let their dog into any children’s playpark designated as a dog-free area.
