The ban comes after higher numbers of dog attacks are reported in Somerset this year.

    For everyone saying this seems random/odd/pointless/in response to some Karen etc:

    February 2023: Dog walker mauled to death by dogs at Surrey beauty spot

    The dog walker, from Croydon, died after suffering massive blood loss caused by multiple bites to the neck in Gravelly Hill, Caterham, on January 12, while she was out with eight dogs.

    Which I suspect may have some bearing on this announcement.

      That was Surrey. This is North Somerset.

        Ah, I forgot that councillors don’t read newspapers. There’s no way a councillor in North Somerset could have been aware of this attack in Surrey, as reported in the national papers.
