Description
Important Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to raise concerns regarding dogs being walked off-leash in Evington Park and the lack of clear signage reminding owners to keep their dogs under control. On several occasions, I have witnessed dogs staring at people and children in particular with an instict to react, running up to children, and ignoring their owners’ recall commands. This is becoming increasingly worrying for families and other park users, particularly when owners are unable to regain control of their dogs and they are off leash. Dogs ready to go after squirrels after its instincts kicked in. Incidents like this highlight the risks posed when dogs are not properly controlled in public parks. There are currently no prominent or clearly visible signs advising owners about keeping dogs on leads or warning of possible fines or enforcement action. I strongly believe clearer signage should be installed throughout the park, particularly near entrances and areas frequently used by families and wildlife. The signs should clearly state: - Dogs must be kept under proper control at all times - Owners must have effective recall of their dogs - Dogs should be kept on leads where appropriate - Failure to comply may result in fines or enforcement action Improved signage and awareness would help encourage responsible dog ownership and make the park safer for children, wildlife, and all visitors.
