Powers to clamp down on poorly behaved dogs and owners could be used in Corby

Powers to deter dog owns from allowing their pets to behave anti-socially are set to be rolled out across Corby later this year. Public Spaces Protection Orders were first introduced nationally in 2014 and Corby is the only area in North Northamptonshire without one for dog control.

Under the powers, owners could be fined £100 for not picking up after their dog, not keeping them on a lead in areas where they are told to and letting the dog run in areas where that is banned.Catherine Clooney, a team leader in environment protection at NNC, said: “What I’ve found in other areas is when you don’t have a PSPO there’s an increase dramatically [of anti-social behaviour]. We have had that in terms of street drinking in Wellingborough.

Corby councillor Alison Dalziel told an NNC sustainable communities meeting that she worried the work could be a “very costly exercise for very little return” given so few FPNs have been given out. But she said dog fouling was “disgusting” on some paths in her ward, with Shakespeare Way sometimes “littered” with dog waste.
