Consultations
When a decision is likely to affect individuals, businesses or organisations, the council seeks their views before taking the decision.
Where the decision is likely to have an impact on the general public, a special consultation process is held to gather the views of the community. The consultation may take the form of a questionnaire, public meetings, exhibitions, posters or all of these, depending on the issue.
We regularly carry out consultation exercises before taking decisions on council services and strategies - here you can find out information on current consultations.
A direct feedback form is included in each consultation.
Dog Fouling Public Spaces Protection Order
The current Dog Fouling PSPO will expire on 18th October 2026 and we want to hear from you on the contents of the next PSPO which will run from October 2026 until October 2029.
We want to hear how you think the current restrictions are working, whether they remain appropriate, and if not, how they might be improved.
Your feedback will help us make sure that the PSPO continues to balance the needs of dog owners with those of other parks and green space users and the wider community. Find out more and complete the survey using the button below.
