Tower Hamlets Council has approved a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) to regulate dog-related behavior in response to recent antisocial incidents. Effective later this autumn, the rules include banning dogs from gated children's areas, requiring leads on streets, and limiting the number of dogs one person can walk without a professional license. The council's consultation revealed strong community support for these measures, driven by safety concerns, particularly for children. The council aims to balance public safety with the rights of responsible dog owners to enjoy open spaces.
The new Public Spaces Protection Order aims to tackle dog-related antisocial behavior in Tower Hamlets, establishing rules for dog owners and walkers.
