Today Bolton Council launched a consultation reviewing four Dog Control Public Space Protection Orders, which are due for renewal in October 2026. Please feel free to share the information below with your constituents. I have also attached an infographic for your use on social media.
Have your say on Dog Control Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs)
Bolton Council currently has four Dog Control PSPOs which are due to expire in October 2026. They give the police and authorised officers of Bolton Council additional powers aimed at preventing nuisance caused by irresponsible dog owners or dog walkers. The four orders are:
- The Dogs Exclusion PSPO
- The Dogs on Leads PSPO
- The Dogs on Leads by Direction PSPO
- The Fouling of Land by Dogs PSPO
We are now keen to hear from our residents, stakeholders and visitors on their experiences of the PSPOs and views around the proposed renewal. For further information and to have your say, please visit: https://bit.ly/Dog_Control2026. Deadline: Monday 13th July 2026
