Reminder: Have your say on measures to promote responsible dog control and encourage safer cycling in town centres before 26 February

There’s still time to have your say on plans to continue measures which help promote responsible dog control in public places, deter dog-fouling and encourage safer cycling in town centres.

RBWM wants to hear residents views on keeping in place two Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs), first introduced in April 2021, which are legal powers allowing councils to impose restrictions on a defined area to tackle nuisance or problem behaviour.

One PSPO allows Community Wardens and the police to enforce existing no-cycling rules by asking cyclists to stop and dismount in the busy pedestrianised areas of Peascod Street, Windsor and High Street, Maidenhead.

The other PSPOs means anyone caught dog-fouling in a public place anywhere in the borough risks a £100 fixed penalty notice. The order also allows the Community Wardens or police to ask a dog owner to put their pet on a lead if it’s loose and causing harassment, alarm or distress in a public place.

A public consultation on plans to continue these PSPOs for a further three years, until March 2027, runs until Monday 26 February. Find out more and participate online at RBWM Together. Read more in the press release.
