There had been complaints from the public
A council has defended its decision to ask a dog owner to keep her pet on its lead in a park following a number of complaints from the public. Debra Reynolds, 64, has shared her frustrations after Nottingham City Council instructed her to keep her two-year-old Border Collie on a lead at a Basford park after it said it was “out of control”.
Vernon Park has a public space protection order in place, where dog walkers may be asked to keep their dog on a lead or put their dog on a lead if told to by a police officer, police community support officer or someone from the council. Ms Reynolds, who uses a mobility scooter, said that Trixie can be difficult on the lead, and so is often better off one.
Ms Reynolds, who has owned dogs since she was 13 years old and has been visiting the park since she was a child, has now been issued with a Community Protection Notice after the dog was seen straying. This is a final warning to keep Trixie on her lead before being issued a fine. Ms Reynolds said that she feels targeted by CPO and does not agree with how the officer handled the incident.
