The council has officially scrapped the proposed dog control orders for our parks. This win belongs to every one of you who spoke up for the freedom our dogs need. We will keep watching the park board meetings to ensure these plans stay off the table for good.

Good Glossop dogs is a group of responsible dog owners  who oppose the proposals by High Peak Council to introduce Dog Control Orders, which will mean that dogs need to kept on leads in the majority of Manor Park and all of Howard Park as well as other areas of the borough.

PLEASE SIGN OUT PETITION AND ALLOW DOGS THE FREEDOM TO BE PROPERLY EXERCISED.

We fully support any measures to eliminate dog fouling in the borough. However keeping dogs on leads at all times within the public parks will not resolve the issue of dog fouling, when the biggest problem is clearly on the pavements where virtually all dog owners have their dogs on leads.

As responsible dog owners we are fastidious at clearing up our dog mess. Exercising our dogs off lead is vital for the health & wellbeing of us and our dogs.  The parks in Glossop are safe and convenient for many, particularly those who are older or live on their own.  Dogs on four foot leads would not be vigorously exercised which would lead to more potential dog behaviour problems.

The exclusion of dog owners from using the vast majority of Manor Park and as well as Howard Park seems punitive and unfair to responsible dog owners.

We are gaining ground but we must push harder to hit our target before the council finalizes these orders. Text three friends right now and send them the link to sign. This is the moment to show the borough that we demand off-lead access for our dogs.

Ive been walking my dogs in Manor Park for 20 years and never had an issue. Please leave us alone.

RIDICULOUS idea. The dogs that arent picked up after are already on leads on the street. This wont change anything except ruin our walks.

Keep the parks open for dogs! They deserve to run around just like we do.

My lab needs to run to stay fit. He cant get any exercise on a tiny lead.

Focus on the people who dont pick up instead of bothering responsible owners. Problem solved.

Total nonsense. My dog is well trained and needs space. Dont punish the rest of us because of a few lazy owners.
