Dogs Public Space Protection Order

This page sets out the Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) regarding how dogs' behaviour is regulated in parks and open spaces in and around Banstead and surrounding villages in the north of the borough. Where a person responsible for a dog does not follow the requirements of the PSPO/s, the council may issue them with a fixed penalty notice of £80 or, ultimately they may be prosecuted with a maximum £1,000 penalty on conviction.

The parks and open spaces are listed in alphabetical order. This page includes parks and open spaces in Banstead, Burgh Heath, Chipstead, Hooley, Kingswood, Tadworth Walton on the Hill and Woodmansterne.
