In14 June 2023 a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) in relation to dog control was extended. The PSPO has effect across the Runnymede area replacing the previous PSPO from 2020. The current order is due to finish in June 2026. RBC is currently consulting residents and partner agencies to decide if this order is to be extended again.
A PSPO can be in place for a period of three years. The PSPO deals with issues such as dog fouling, keeping dogs on leads and excluding dogs from enclosed children’s play areas. It is also an offence against the Order to not provide a name and address when requested by an authorised officer.
A fixed penalty notice of £100 (reduced to £80 for early payment) can be issued for failing to comply with the order. You can report dog fouling to the Council on 01932 838383, the information will help inform where we should target resources.
