The measures are part of an update to the city’s existing Public Spaces
Protection Order (PSPO) and are based on views from a public consultation
carried out earlier this year.
The order aims to make the city safer, cleaner and more comfortable for
everyone.
Under City of Wolverhampton Council’s updated PSPO, three new safety
measures have been added to six existing ones.
The order now requires anyone in control of a dog to carry a suitable means
of removing dog faeces and provide their names and address when asked to
do so by an authorised officer.
Owners are not allowed to let their dogs into specified water spots such as
Tettenhall Pool or the fountain in Queen Square Wolverhampton. Dogs must
also be kept on a lead in council-operated cemeteries.
Six existing measures will continue: dogs are to be kept on a lead by major
arterial roads of the city, when within a 100-metre radius of school or
academy entrances and when within certain areas of Northycote Farm.
