Dogs Excluded from Certain Areas

There is a dog control order that excludes dogs from certain areas namely;

  1. All enclosed (i.e. fenced and gated) children's play areas which are (1) enclosed by means of a fence and/or gate and (2) owned or maintained by the Chichester District Council.
  2. Bishop's Palace Gardens (Chichester)
  3. Priory Park (Chichester)
  4. The foreshore and beach, East Wittering – from groyne A49 to S1
  5. The foreshore and beach, Selsey – from groyne E26 to E33
  6. The foreshore and beach, Bracklesham – from groynes A22 to A29.

This is because we class these areas as high risk i.e. where children are playing or grounds provided for recreational use.

Signage in or near the area will explain the Dog Control Order in more detail.
