Ashleigh 11 months ago I'd just like to see more of the routes taking aesthetics into account. The section around the back of the Castle, past the King's Knot is a perfect example of how nice the routes can look (and Millenium Way is a great example of how awful they can look and feel). Where possible, a little bit of separation from the road using planting (like on sections on Cowane street) really make the routes feel safer and more pleasant to travel. Encouraging Active Travel is a lot easier when the routes feel nice to use.

Ashleigh 5 years ago I'm in support of these rules. My own children are nervous around dogs they don't know and have been knocked over by friendly but boisterous uncontrolled dogs. Some children also don't know how to behave around dogs, and may unwittingly startle a dog, leading to a possible bite. But how is it going to be enforced? The current state of dog fouling in the local park shows that a sign is just not enough. And how will this work in parks where the boundaries are less clear? In a park like Kings Park, the children's play area is a very clear area, with a play surface, away from where dogs would be allowed. But a park like Riverside park might be more complicated. Would dogs be banned from the field and outer edges of the park as well, or just around the play equipment? There are no 'play surfaces' in some parks, where equipment is just on the grass. Where will the boundaries be?
