Council looks to crack down on cycling and dog fouling

ROYAL BOROUGH: An eight-week consultation has been launched seeking feedback on attempts to tackle cycling on the pedestrianised areas and dog fouling.

The council is proposing two new Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs), used for tackling anti-social behaviour. PSPOs can either prohibit or require certain actions in a particular area.

The two PSPOs are for dog fouling and dog control, and cycling in pedestrianised zones in King Street and Maidenhead High Street, as well as Peascod Street in Windsor.

Councillor David Cannon, lead member for public protection and parking, said: “The Royal Borough is a great place to live and work, but anti-social behaviour can be a blight.

“Residents tell us how frustrating it can be to see such behaviour and as a council we have a responsibility to do what we can to deter this.

“We hope that by proposing to introduce these two new Public Space Protection Orders they will provide our officers with the tools they need to tackle the unacceptable behaviours of a small minority and improve the lives of everyone in the borough.”

The consultation will run until February 7.
