Hello club members & subscribers.  Tina mentioned in class on Wednesday night that Oldham Council intend to introduce Dog Control Orders.  I (Justin, site admin) decided to look into this & found Oldham Council are proposing to:

  • Prohibit dogs from entering children’s play areas (excluding helper dogs etc)
  • Keep dogs on leads within some of Oldham’s parks.
  • Put a maximum number of four dogs per handler regulation into effect for all parks.
  • Full details of the consultation can be seen here on Oldham Council’s website. The deadline for submissions is Monday 27th September.  Submissions should be sent to:

    Kathryn Kelly, Acting Group Manager Environmental Health & Registrars
    Oldham Council
    Economy,Place & Skills Directorate
    Chadderton Town Hall
    Chadderton, OL9 6PP

    I’m of the opinion that the proposals seem reasonable, although I think some handlers might object to their local park being limited to on-lead activities only.  You have the chance to have your say in this – so if it’s likely to affect you make sure you let Oldham Council know.
