The Council has received requests from residents to review the opening and closing times during the peak summer months. The Parks Project team on behalf of the Council is carrying out this consultation to see if the proposed reduction in times is more widely supported. If supported, the revised opening and closing times would be implemented from April 2023, for a trial period of two years.
Dogs using Powis Square
Dogs are currently allowed to use and access Powis Square. The views from residents and park users vary greatly from dog owners wishing to use the area to exercise their dogs, some park users wanting dogs to use the space and some park users totally against dogs being in the space or wanting an enclosed dog area installed. The Council wishes to consult residents on how dogs should use the Square and how this should be controlled or managed.
The Parks Projects Team, on behalf of the Council, would like your views on whether the opening and closing times at Powis Square should be amended during the summer months and also how dogs should use the Square and how this should be controlled or managed.
This survey will be open for six weeks from 9 January 2023 to 20 February 2023.
