果冻传媒app today agreed to renew its Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) for the exercising of dogs and clearing up of dog fouling on land throughout the borough. The previous PSPO was introduced in 2019 for a period of 3 years and was due to expire at the end of October.
The PSPO aims to help owners behave responsibly in areas that are enjoyed by others. It outlines requirements and restrictions for dog owners and ensures that shared spaces are usable for all Blaenau鈥檚 residents to enjoy.
Blaenau Gwent CBC will continue to apply a fixed penalty notice of 拢100 for offences contained within the Public Space Protection Orders. Failure to pay the fixed penalty notice will result in the authority taking legal action which may result in a maximum fine of level 3 on the standard scale, which is currently 拢1,000.
Councillor Helen Cunningham, Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Place and Environment said:
鈥淭he renewed PSPO will continue to help keep our community spaces and specific land free from dog fouling. Although the vast majority of dog owners are very responsible and adhere to any regulations regarding their dogs. The continued issuing of a fixed penalty notice to irresponsible dog owners who fail to clean up after their dogs will help keep our communities safe and clean.鈥�
