The Cabinet Member for Technical Services, Councillor Stanley, introduced this report stating that Dog Controls in Arun transferred into Public Space Protection Orders, or PSPOs, in October 2017 and would expire after three years.  In deciding whether to replace them and in what form, the Council had taken account of feedback received over the three year period and so minor amendments were proposed which had been  subject to a comprehensive public consultation exercise which demonstrated support for the amended PSPOs being adopted.

The Group Head of Technical Services then outlined the main amendments proposed which had been set out in Appendix A of the report, the Proposed Public Space Protection Orders.
