Cardiff Council is considering introducing a new dog ban, but what do locals in Cardiff parks think?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"husky

Cardiff council is proposing a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) that will prohibit dogs from marked sports pitches owned or maintained by the council. <\/span><\/p>\n

The council will be considering the opinion of the public on this issue during October. <\/span><\/p>\n

For this voxpop, Cardiff residents were asked: What do you think of banning dogs from marked sports fields? <\/span><\/p>\n

Susan Jones, 61, a retired headteacher,<\/b> Roath <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a dog owner and I have a son who plays rugby so I can see both sides. It\u2019s unfortunate that those few people who don\u2019t pick up their dog mess spoil it for everyone else. Parks need to be used and people need to enjoy them.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Phil Hallett, 39, designer, Penylan <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it would be a shame because they\u2019re useful wide open spaces for dogs to get exercise. I do appreciate that not all owners look after their dogs. I think more needs to be done to put the onus on dog owners to be respectful.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Jennifer Morgan, 30, dog trainer and walker, Heath <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s disproportionate to the issues. I think people in general are problematic when it comes to leaving waste and mess. Many dog owners pick up after their dogs and I know many who pick up after other people\u2019s dogs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Rhys Davies, 31, retail customer assistant, Roath<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t necessarily agree with it. I think as long as people are responsible and they clean up after their dogs it\u2019s okay for them to be here. I know people can get intimidated, and a lot of people don\u2019t like dogs but I think it\u2019s a nice space for them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Julia David, 24, researcher, Roath<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really see why they should be banned. I think it\u2019s important that all residents should use the green spaces and as long as they\u2019re not hurting people I don\u2019t really see why they\u2019re banning them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Polly Winn, 23, policy researcher and communications, Adamsdown<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI understand why they\u2019re doing it for dog poo and stuff, but everyone in Cardiff should be able to use the space equally and banning dogs is going to be as hard to regulate as fining people for picking up dog poo, so I don\u2019t really see the point at all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Meridian Ayers-Bowen, 29, concert promoter, Roath<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s impractical. I personally wouldn\u2019t listen to a ban. My dog is an athletic dog and was bred to run all day. It\u2019s important for canine and human health to get out and walk. If we were unable to do that it would ruin my life.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
