This report provides information on the current Dog Control orders, the informal feedback that has been received since their implementation in April 2012 and recommends one change to the Dog Control Orders currently in force in Brent’s parks and open spaces.
Decision:
(i) that agreement be given to reduce from six to four the maximum number of dogs that one person can walk such that the Control Order is changed to:
The maximum number of dogs which may be taken onto Brent’s parks and open spaces The Dog Control Orders restrict the maximum number of dogs to be controlled by one person to four. It is an offence for one person to be in charge of more than four dogs in any of the borough’s parks or open spaces.
(ii) that, for the avoidance of doubt, agreement be given to retain, without change, Orders that address:
Areas where dogs would be excluded in Brent’s parks and open spaces
Areas where dogs are to be kept on leads in Brent’s parks and open spaces
Minutes:
The report from the Director of Environment and Neighbourhood Services provided information on the current Dog Control Orders, the informal feedback that had been received since their implementation in April 2012 and recommended one change to the Dog Control Orders currently in force in Brent’s parks and open spaces.
