Consultation on proposed prohibition on dogs entering the Coatham seafront play area, Majuba Road, Redcar

Introduction

Redcar and Cleveland council wants to know your views on its proposal to prohibit dogs from entering the Coatham seafront play area, Majuba Road, Redcar.

The Dogs public spaces protection order includes a provision making it an offence for  dog walkers to permit their dogs to enter any of the 64 fenced-off children's play areas across the borough.

The council now needs to resolve an unintended anomaly whereby the order’s “Schedule one : play areas” dog exclusion provision does not apply to the recently opened nautical-themed play area on Coatham seafront.

Resolving this matter will further strengthen a robust approach to enforcement as part of a fully rounded dog-fouling strategy, which removes excuses for dog walkers entering this play area and considerably increases the risks for dog walkers who continue to offend.
