Dover District Council is proposing to introduce a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in accordance with the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 which if approved would continue to cover the following behaviors:
- Failing to remove dog faeces;
- Not keeping a dog on a lead in a designated dogs on lead area.
- Not putting, and keeping, a dog on a lead when directed to do so by an authorised officer.
- Permitting a dog to enter land from which dogs are excluded.
- Street drinking
- Unauthorised camping
Under the section 72(4) of the Anti-Social Behavior, Crime & Policing Act 2014 the Local Authority is required to consult with the landowners and interested parties before making a PSPO.
Our public consultation on proposals opens today and runs until the 13th of May 2025. All information regarding our proposed PSPO renewal including copies of maps of the areas of land which would be affected if approved, together with details on how to make comments as part of the public consultation can be found visiting our website Public Spaces Protection Order – Consultation.
