North Somerset Council Dog Control Order Consultation | your views
Introduction
Throughout June we asked you what you thought of new Dog Control Order proposals.
The proposals were designed to replace existing and outdated by-laws (in many cases not changing their current status) and in conjunction with the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005.
Prior to the consultation beginning, our Environmental Protection Officers met with local Town and Parish Councils to discuss what measures they would like to be suggested which is reflected in the proposals that were put forward.

Your opinion
In total 606 individual responses were received regarding the consultation. As each respondent could comment on more than one dog control order, there were 826 responses over all. Responses were captured through an online survey as well as through letters, emails, telephone calls, eConsult and petitions.
To all that responded – thank you. Your comments will be taken into consideration when a decision is made later this year as to whether to implement the orders or make modifications.
