Those who do not clear up after their dogs will simply continue to not pick up after them, whether they are on a lead or not. Off-lead exercise is essential to dog health, especially in a built up area where many residents have small gardens or no garden at all as we do. Please do not punish dogs and their owners such as myself, who willingly clear up after our dogs, and have well-trained and well-behaved pets who need proper exercise.

As a resident of Tower Hamlets I very much enjoy allowing her off lead in Victoria Park and other public spaces. I think it's fine to prohibit her from visiting children's play areas but I don't see any reason for responsible dog owners to suffer for the behavior of the irresponsible ones. Why not enforce the restrictions (and signs!) already in place rather than making new ones? For instance, I have personally picked up other people's dog mess in the park but I have NEVER seen anyone being handed a fine for allowing their dog to foul a public area. Could we please enforce THIS law as well as policing aggressive/nuisance animals? You know, for the children? Also, in an election year, I would like to be made aware of such proposals in a more conspicuous fashion than having them "slipped" into a dreary local paper and being made aware a week beforehand by a fellow responsible dog walker in the park. Bad political move, that. Bad! Thank you for taking the time to read my comment, my husband and I shall be voting accordingly,

Sincerely,

Cathy

One of the main reasons we moved to Tower Hamlets was so that we could have a healthy dog with space to run. Also, I wonder where enforcement of any new regulations would come from as I would much prefer such monies to be spent on enforcing the laws already on the books and on display namely: making sure people don't allow their dogs to foul public spaces and policing aggressive or nuisance dogs which give responsible, law-abiding dog owners a bad name. Furthermore, while some members of our community don't like dogs on general principle, I believe that a harmonious community is one that embraces diversity and accepts lifestyle choices which may not be their own and in this case involving people who take great joy in owning and walking clean, well-behaved and non-aggressive canines. Thank you for reading this, I do hope to continue responsibly enjoying the parks of Tower Hamlets with our dog, off lead in acceptable areas, in years to come.

Sincerely,

Ian
