Dog walking area on Dunkirk Avenue Recreation Ground

Dog walking area on Dunkirk Avenue Recreation Ground

The Dunkirk Avenue recreation area is a well-used and loved space in the middle of the town.  However, some irresponsible dog-owners choose to leave dog mess behind after they exercise.  This is not only illegal but also anti-social and it can cause problems for other users of the park.

The Town Council set aside money to fund a dog-walking area at the edge of the Rec to help address the issue.  The Rec is owned by North Northamptonshire Council.  Unfortunately, North Northamptonshire Council refused permission for a dog walking area to be installed.
