My local council have put notices up in cemeteries and parks in the borough asking the public what they think about government proposals to stop dog owners from using public land to exercise their dogs.

If there's a ban then where can we go to exercise our dogs? There are plenty of fields around here but farmers aren't exactly dog friendly and not many will don their wellington boots and go that far. The pavements will become the new dog walking areas, with dog mess increasing on public highways. I know dog mess is a problem in parks but is a ban reasonable?
