Dog owners in Tollerton say a fine isn’t necessary as a new rule could see dog walkers getting fined up to £100 in Rushcliffe if they do not carry dog waste bags with them.
A number of new Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPO) to control dogs in public places has been proposed by Rushcliffe Borough Council. The new orders could see a ban on dog fouling on the majority of land in Rushcliffe, as well as making it an offence if dog walkers do not carry dog waste bags with them.
The proposals for these orders are recommended for approval and will be decided at a full council meeting on July 7. Tollerton Parish Council called the proposals “unnecessary” and requested that its land be excluded from the PSPO.
