DOGS could be banned from sports pitches, play areas and some schools under plans being put forward by councillors.
Further restrictions could also mean that in areas where dogs will still be allowed, including some cemeteries, they will have to be kept on leads.
Monmouthshire County Council’s scrutiny committee considered the plans in May, having already looked at measures such as requiring anyone walking a dog to carry a bag to collect its poo, as part of strict new rules to be applied across the county.
The council will hold a consultation on the proposals from mid June so members of the public as well as landowners and bodies such as the police will have a two month period to give their opinions on the proposals known as a Public Spaces Protection Order, before the council cabinet makes a decision later in the year.
Anyone failing to obey the orders could be hit with a £100 on-the-spot fixed penalty fine – or risk a fine of up to £1,000 if the case is taken to court.
These are all the local areas of where you could be banned from walking your dog, or be required to keep them on a lead.
