Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 09:44 · Archive

Cornwall Council will impose new dog bans and lead requirements at 28 locations from October 15, including part of a popular beach.

Cornwall Council will introduce new dog restrictions at 28 locations when Public Spaces Protection Orders are renewed on October 15. Cabinet member for community safety and public health Cllr Thalia Marrington will sign off the amendments, which will add dog bans at locations including part of Tehidy country park and the regatta field in Charlestown. Dogs will be required to stay on leads in Morrab Gardens, Penzance and the south end of Perranporth Beach by the village.

The changes form part of the council's ongoing management of dog-related issues. Currently, two PSPOs cover the whole of Cornwall, prohibiting dog fouling and requiring dogs to be placed on leads when directed to by an authorised officer. Additional orders exclude dogs from specific defined areas and require leads in specified places.

The October 15 renewal will also see 14 existing dog exclusion orders lifted and nine new spots designated as lead-only areas. Cornwall Council receives approximately 650 to 750 dog fouling complaints annually across the county.
