Owners caught allowing dogs into the water at spots such as Tettenhall Pool or the fountain in Queen Square Wolverhampton will be guilty of an offence and could be fined under the strict new rules.

It will also become an offence to be in charge of a dog on public land without means of faeces collection and disposal; it will be a requirement for a person to give their name and address to an authorised officer when requested to do so and dogs will have to be on a lead at public cemeteries.

People in Wolverhampton are now being asked to give their views on proposed changes to the Public Spaces Protection Order, which is to be renewed on October 1.
