dog control issues
Richmond Council is preparing to consult on extending Public Spaces Protection Orders for dog control.
Richmond Council's Regulatory Committee reviewed proposals in February 2026 to extend two Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) addressing anti-social behaviour and dog control issues. The council is now preparing a public consultation on these extensions, with revised draft PSPOs available for public review and feedback.
The current PSPOs, which manage dog behaviour in public spaces, were originally set to expire in September 2026. The proposed extensions would renew these orders for an additional three years, continuing the existing regulations for dog control in the borough.
