Proposed changes to dog permissions in Honiton

17th Sep 2021 | Local News

East Devon District Council are proposing to ban dogs from 15 parks in the East Devon area, following requests by town and parish councils.

In Honiton, the proposals are for a dog ban to be introduced on rugby pitch one on Allhallows recreational grounds and a 'dogs on lead' restriction at The Gissage Riverside Walk at Littletown to be removed.

Cllr Geoff Jung, East Devon District Council's Portfolio Holder for Environment, said: "Dog Control Orders have been in place for many years and these and the Public Spaces Protection Orders which replaced them have helped us to achieve a very high level of responsible dog ownership in East Devon, and also help to ensure that our beaches and promenades are clean and welcoming places for both residents and visitors.

"We intend to retain these orders for the next three years to ensure that these high standards are maintained."

The consultation, plus current PSPOs, and proposed amendments can be read in full on the council's website by clicking the red button below.

Any comments on the proposals should be sent to the Environmental Health Team by emailing [email protected].

This consultation runs until Friday, March 20.
