Dogs and public spaces - PSPO Survey

There are currently three such Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) in place across Torfaen, which must be reviewed every three years:

• Dog fouling: This is a borough wide PSPO, where it’s an offence to fail to remove dog faeces from any land the public has access to.
• Dog Exclusion Areas: There are 140 areas within the borough where dogs are excluded, including school grounds, children play areas and marked sports pitches. Dogs are also excluded from the Lapwing breeding area near the Garn Lakes Nature Reserve.
• Dogs on Leads Areas: It is also an offence to let a dog off a lead in specified areas, including Garn Lakes, Cwmbran Boating Lake, and all of the Council’s cemeteries.
