Following the last consultation on Dog Control Orders held in May, Darlington Council has now put together a list of proposed areas where these could be enforced.
Dog Control Orders could be used to address issues such as:
Failing to remove dog faeces (to apply across the Borough)
Not keeping a dog on a lead (to apply only in certain locations)
Not putting and keeping a dog on a lead when directed to do so by an authorised officer (to apply across the Borough)
Permitting a dog to enter land from which dogs are excluded (to apply only in certain locations)
The proposed locations are attached below.
Borough Boundary size-A1 [pdf document, 2.3mb]
North West Rural Heighington size-A3 [pdf document, 503kb]
Dog Control Order Urban Area size-A0 [pdf document, 1.4mb] - Dogs on leads in communal areas of allotments only
South East Rural Middleton St George size-A3 [pdf document, 473kb]
North East Rural Sadberge size-A3 [pdf document, 372kb]
South West Rural Hurworth size-A1 [pdf document,1.3mb]
Hard copies will be made available at the Town Hall from Tuesday 1 September.
The Talking Together event will give residents the opportunity to view the proposed locations for the Dog Control Orders and discuss any issues they may have, in workshop groups.

We have checked the maps and allowing dogs onto school property is under consultation and Longfield school is therefore marked on the map.
