Hundreds of people have joined a call to ban dogs from Paddington Old Cemetery, arguing that unsupervised dogs disrespect the graves and disturb the peace.
Michelle O'Connor stated the cemetery is sacred ground being ruined, with dog owners allowing their pets to use it as a toilet, causing distress to mourners.
Liam Hagan expressed his distress at seeing the cemetery, where his aunt is buried, treated like a play area for dogs, further supporting the petition.
Brent Council is beginning a consultation to explore potential changes to enforce public space protection orders regarding dog behavior in the cemetery.
