Report of the Superintendent of the Commons.

Members noted that at the September 2014 meeting of this Committee approved the introduction of Dog Control Orders at Burnham Beeches commencing 1

December 2014. As part of that approval Members requested that the

Superintendent produce a report in July 2016 to provide an update on the

implementation of the Dog Control Orders (DCOs).

Officers were generally encouraged by the outcome of this early data set and

the apparent change in dog related behaviours it indicates. Monitoring would continue over the coming months and the extended data base would be further analysed to produce the January 2017 report and to draw conclusions where that was possible.

The Committee conveyed their thanks to the Superintendent and his team for their hard work which helped to implement the DCOs successfully.

Resolved – that the report be received.
