Public Spaces Protection Order - Dogs on leads on Promenade (1st May – 30th September)

The Public Spaces Protection Order – Dogs on leads on Promenade (1st May – 30th September) Order 2024, came into force on 6th March 2024. Under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, any Public Spaces Protection Order (“PSPO”) remains in place for three years. At this point they can be:

  • extended
  • varied
  • or discharged

Following approval by the Council, this PSPO came into effect on the 6th March 2024. It will last for a period of three years. It may be cited as the Public Spaces Protection Order – Dogs on leads on Promenade (1st May – 30th September) Order 2024.

This PSPO places a requirement for dogs to be on leads, between 1st May and 30th September annually, on Aberavon Promenade.

A breach of this PSPO is an offence which can be dealt with through:

  • prosecution (which may lead to a Court fine of up to £1,000)
  • the issue of a Fixed Penalty Notice (“FPN”) of up to £75. Payment of this FPN discharges the liability to prosecution
