Epsom & Ewell Borough Council launches consultation into
commercial dog walking at Nonsuch Park
Epsom & Ewell Borough Council have launched a six-week consultation on commercial dog walking in Nonsuch Park from Monday 29 April.
The consultation was commissioned by Nonsuch Park Joint Management Committee following concerns raised by visitors about the increase in dog walkers with multiple dogs in the park.
Ahead of implementing any measures to control commercial dog walking, the Committee is keen to consult with the public and stakeholders about this issue to help inform any future decisions.
Officers from Epsom & Ewell Borough Council will also be at Nonsuch Park on the following dates and times to answer any questions the public may have:
- 15/05/2024 – London Road Gate, 10:30am-12:30pm
- 22/05/2024 – Sparrow Farm Road Gate, 12:30pm-2:30pm.
Councillor Julian Freeman, Chair of the Nonsuch Park Joint Management Committee, said: “We are aware that Nonsuch Park is hugely popular with dog walkers and while most dog walkers are responsible, concerns have been raised about the growth of commercial walkers with multiple dogs.
“It is important that as many people as possible engage with the consultation, so the Committee can understand park visitors’ thoughts, concerns and suggestions about dog control and commercial dog walking. Their input will help us make informed decisions that balance the needs of both dog walkers and the broader park community.”
The consultation survey is available on the Epsom & Ewell consultations webpage – Consultations | Epsom and Ewell Borough Council (epsom-ewell.gov.uk).
The survey will close on 3 June 2023.
