A well trained dog does not need to be on a leash, but will respond to its owner promptly. I didnt make the law, but it is unwelcome or unworkable for dogs to be required to be kept on a leash in public.

The ground is public ground and open to all users. A fear of dogs that some might suffer should not require everyone else to accomodate them.

The previous post stated inaccurate information, I pointed out the error of that. How that is been high and mighty I fail to see.

Also, to the person who claimed to have been bitten, may I suggest you report it to the relevant authorities, otherwise it is unsupported, and, I for one, would hate to see a by law been introduced and unsubstantiated claims.
