Decision Maker: Executive
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To approve a policy on animals in public events.
Decision:
that approval be given the adoption of a policy regarding use of animals at events across the boroughs in parks and open spaces which:
(a) Does not permit animals that come under the Schedule ‘Kinds of Dangerous Wild Animals’ in the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 (Modification) (No.2) Order 2007, to be allowed to be part of any event including circuses and funfairs on the Council’s parks and open spaces.
(b) Does not permit the provision of live creatures as prizes at any event including circuses and funfairs on the Council’s parks and open spaces.
(c) Does permit animals that do not come under the Schedule ‘Kinds of Dangerous Wild Animals’ in the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 (Modification) (No.2) Order 2007 to be part of an event including circuses and funfairs on the Councils parks and open spaces. This would therefore allow for example dog shows, performing horses and falconry displays to take place.
