Lack of “no dogs” signage in play park

Reported via mobile in the Park safety issue category anonymously at 17:28, Tue 5 March 2024

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 5673017.

I reported this problem last week but received the response that the signage in the park was sufficient - there is actually no signage provided in the park or on the fences or gates surrounding it at all (as per the photos submitted with this report)!

As requested previously, please can signage be provided at least to the entrances to Saltford park to say that dogs are not permitted in the children’s play area. This appears to be standard practice for children’s play areas but there is nothing provided in Saltford except for the football pitch, and as explained previously, I have seen people with dogs in the children’s play area on numerous occasions. Providing signage to explain dogs are not allowed will hopefully deter dog owners, or give other park users greater confidence to request dog owners take their dogs out of the play area and into the adjoining green space where dogs are permitted.

  • There are No Dog signs on the play area gates for the fenced area; the rest of the open space is not part of the play area. The fenced football pitch is managed by the school. Extra signage will be ordered in April for the fenced play area.

  • Please can you advise of an ETA for the signs ordered in April. Will BANES team work with the school so there is appropriate signage as football field is lacking signs at all entrances and dog owners regularly exercise their dogs on this field.
