  • 191010 Appendix A, Item 18. PDF 2 MB
    Appendix A Consultation on Proposed Dog- Related Public Spaces Protection Order There are a number of existing dog-related Public Spaces Protection Orders (‘PSPOs’) across the Dorset Council area. These were introduced by the former District and Borough Councils which have now become part of the new unitary Dorset Council. Some of these Orders will soon naturally expire and the council is taking the opportunity to consolidate them into one. The intention is that the new Order will provide clarity and consistency across the area for dog owners and non-owners alike about dog controls on public open spaces. We are required to consult with the public and other stakeholders on the content of new or revised PSPOs. This may see changes to the previous Orders dependent upon the views expressed. Councillors will make the final decision on the controls to be included in the new Order, having regard to the feedback received during the consultation. The views of residents, visitors and businesses are therefore very important and a period of consultation will run for 12 weeks finishing at 4.30pm on Friday ADD DATE. To have your say, please complete this short survey, it should take about 15 minutes or less for the 34 questions related to the proposal and a further 6 ‘about you’. Results will be published on the consultation tracker after the closing date. Information on the current dog-related Public Spaces Protection Orders is available to view at: East Dorset: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/environmental-health/dog-warden-service/dog-control-

Olympic Torch Relay The Torch will be arriving early Friday evening, carried into the club by our cadets and available for all to see. We will then be presenting our 14/07/2012 - 15/07/2012 teams with their Olympic quilts. In traditional Castle Cove style, please Weymouth Dinghy Regatta bring a plate of finger food to share and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine and the company of our teams for the evening. 29/07/2012 Friday also marks the start of the Weymouth Regatta (Keelboats 7-8 Start of the Olympic Sailing Events July and Dinghies 14-15 July) and the Spirit of the Sea festival. The weekend of dinghy regatta is going to be extra-ordinarily busy – we are 30/07/2012 hosting well over 100 boats (mostly parked on the beach) and this year Barn Dance we will be hosting the Saturday evening social which is set to be quite an evening! The boat park will be full to over-flowing; in addition to the 05/08/2012 regatta, the Academy starts its lock down on Friday 13th July and will Cream Tea be carrying out the security sweep during the weekend. Clearly, there will be very little opportunity of parking at the club and I would ask you to seek out those old parking locations away from the club or come by bike or on foot.
