Dog issues and animal cruelty
Our neighbourhood team can investigate and proactively prevent dog related issues such as dog fouling, dogs not being kept on leads, general dog nuisance and dog on dog attacks.
There is a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) 2021 in Cheltenham which outlines dog owners responsibilities in relation to picking up after their dog, failing to produce a suitable receptacle to pick up after their dog, walking more than four dogs at a time or failing to control a dog (for example, being on a lead when required).
