Have your say.
At the Wellington City Council site there’s a petition for a better deal for dogs:
Title: A Positive Dog Policy Petition
Opened: 25 September 2009
Closes: 25 October 2009
Petition Details
We request that the Dog Policy include:
- increased off lead access to the Town Belt, Botanic Gardens, beaches, Karori Cemetery, Trelissick & Macalister Parks
- a presumption that dogs will be under control rather than simply on leash. Ecologically sensitive areas & the City Centre to be on-leash.
- access to the City Centre 24/7 & for Waitangi Park to be removed as a prohibited area
- expanded exercise areas that are fenced, with poo bag dispensers & rubbish bins
Background information
This petition grew out of the Dog Policy review process of 8 & 10 September. It reflects a careful across-the-wards effort by Wellington dog owners, Wellington non-owners, and members of DAWGS to improve our city by improving its dog policy.
