New restrictions around littering, smoking in children’s play areas and dog control will come into place in Leeds next month.
From the 1 July 2018, anyone walking a dog will be required to carry a bag or have some other way to pick up and remove their dog’s mess, as well as there being additional locations within the city where dogs will be required to be placed on a lead.
Fixed penalty notices of £100 are also to be introduced to enforce an earlier prohibition on smoking in childrens’ playgrounds.
New regulations from the government that came into effect earlier this year, which means local authorities have the power to increase the charge for fixed penalty notices for littering to up to £150.
