York Gardens
Wandsworth Council decided in September 2025 to introduce a new Public Space Protection Order for dog controls, affecting areas like York Gardens.
Wandsworth Council decided in September 2025 to introduce a new, separate Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) specifically addressing dog controls. This decision, made at a Cabinet meeting on 22 September 2025, followed a public consultation. The new PSPO is expected to incorporate minor amendments to restricted areas for dog controls in parks like York Gardens, reflecting changes to play area boundaries.
The introduction of the new dog control PSPO came as the council extended its existing borough-wide PSPO for alcohol and drug-related anti-social behaviour until October 2028. The existing PSPO, initially implemented in October 2023, had its dog control provisions removed to allow for the new, dedicated order.
