Knowsley Council has introduced a new Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) to promote responsible dog ownership in the borough. Anyone who fails to comply with the PSPO could face a fine of up to £100.
The PSPO requires dog owners to
- Always carry a bag or other means of cleaning up after their dog.
- Keep their dog on a lead at all times in council-owned cemeteries, allotments, and golf courses.
- Not take their dog into certain enclosed children's play areas, games areas, or areas used for sport and leisure.
- Remove their dog's mess if it fouls.
- Put their dog on a lead if instructed to do so by an authorized officer.
The PSPO will be in place for three years from the commencement date.
