A report by Alison McIlroy.

The Committee considered a report detailing the management rules currently being used by Angus Council in regards parks and open spaces.

Decision:

2.1       Members agreed the rules in Appendix 1 currently used by Angus Council, for which we have approval to adopt, as being particularly suitable to our service requirements. 

2.2       Members agreed to note the byelaws and legislation currently in place to advise on behaviour, for example, legislation relating to dog fouling and existing byelaws regarding drinking in public places.

2.3       Members agreed to note the availability of supplementary voluntary schemes, mainly regarding responsible dog ownership, which could be promoted locally to support the aims of formal Management Rules .
