A Positive Dog Policy Petition

Petition details

We request that the Dog Policy include: * increased off lead access to the Town Belt, Botanic Gardens, beaches, Karori Cemetery, Trelissick and Macalister Parks * a presumption that dogs will be under control rather than simply on leash. Ecologically sensitive areas and the City Centre to be on-leash. * access to the City Centre 24/7 and for Waitangi Park to be removed as a prohibited area * expanded exercise areas that are fenced, with poo bag dispensers and rubbish bins
