  • If you have a dog or cat you must keep it under control.
  • If you take a dog in the shared areas, it must be on a lead and you must clean up any dog mess or cat mess.
  • If you have a dog and you have a private garden you must make sure the garden is enclosed so your dog cannot escape.
  • You must not allow your dog to enter any children’s play area or other dog-free zone.  Cat and dog

We may ban you (and anyone living with you) from keeping any animal in your homes if we have concerns that it would cause a danger or nuisance.
