A dog owner has welcomed a council’s apparent climb-down on divisive proposals that would have required pets to be on leads at all times in many of its parks and open spaces.
In March, Warwick District Council postponed a discussion over changes to its Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs), for further clarification.
The proposals had suggested widespread increased restrictions in places including Leamington Spa’s Victoria Park and Pump Room Gardens, parts of St Nicholas Park in Warwick, and Kenilworth’s Abbey Fields.
But recommendations in a report to be approved by the authority’s Licensing & Regulatory Committee on Tuesday no longer outline such sweeping alterations.
