Following the public consultation over the festive period, Stratford-on-Avon District Council has decided to create a new Public Spaces Protection Order in relation to Dog Fouling.

Whilst there have been minor amendments to the language used in the order, there is in effect no changes to the previous order covering this issue.

From Monday 31 March, it is an offence to allow your dog to foul on land without removing the waste without a reasonable excuse. This applies to all public places across Stratford-on-Avon District.

You can view the order which includes how to challenge its prohibitions or requirements here.

To help publicise this we have produced a new poster to display on your parish noticeboards and would be grateful if you could display one on your parish notice board. There is no need to update the existing street signage as the extent of the order has not changed from previous years.
