PSPO (Dog Control) Consultation

Rugby Borough Council propose to renew the Public Spaces Protection Order to prevent anti-social behaviour arising from dog fouling, being off leads and being in restricted areas. We would like to know what you think of the measures in the proposed Order.
1.Do you agree that the offence of failing to remove dog faeces from publicly accessible land should be retained?
2.Do you agree that the offence of not putting a dog on a lead when directed to do so by an authorised officer of the council should be retained?
3.Do you agree that dogs should be kept on a lead at all times in specific public open spaces and areas, such as Caldecott Park, council cemeteries, public roads/pavements/footways, should be retained?
4.Do you agree that the offence of taking any dog into or keep it within a children's play area within the administrative area of the Borough of Rugby, or any school land which is controlled by the Warwickshire County Council, should be retained?
5.Do you agree that the offence of a person in charge of a dog on land to which this order applies must have with him an appropriate means to pick up dog faeces should be retained?
6.Do you agree that persons who are found to contravene any of the Public Spaces Protection Order in relation to dog control shall still receive a fixed penalty notice, as per the current Order, requiring them to pay a fine within 28 days?
7.Do you have any further comments?
