Southport dog walkers fear new Council rules

Dog walkers in Southport have been warned about new rules in force after signs went up around parks and green spaces to make them aware of a new Public Space Protection Order.

Traffic light style signs have been installed in popular walking spots across the borough to let people know which areas are designated as either off-lead, on- lead or no dog zones.

Failure to comply with the Order can result in a Fixed Penalty Notice of £75.

The Dog Control PSPO has been formulated by Sefton’s Regula- tion & Compliance teams in conjunction with Green Sefton, with help from local residents and dog lovers.
