Have your say on dog control orders across North Northamptonshire

Residents across North Northamptonshire are being asked for their views on a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) covering dog control.

Legacy orders in Kettering, Wellingborough and East Northants are all due to expire in November 2023, with no order currently in place in Corby.

It is proposed that a new PSPO for dog control is introduced across the whole of North Northamptonshire, to ensure consistency across the area and harmonise the existing orders.

The consultation asks for views on the draft plan including dog fouling and restricting access to dogs and dogs on leads in certain areas of land.

The consultation runs from 22 June 2023 until midnight on 3 August 2023.

Anyone can take part in the consultation in the following ways:

• Completing the online survey
• Writing to: North Northamptonshire Council, Environmental Protection, Swanspool House, Doddington Road, Wellingborough, NN8 1BP
• Emailing envprotection@northnorthants.gov.uk

The final proposed order will then go back to Executive later in the year, with a further consultation due to take place.
