Can Parish or Town Councils make their own Orders?
Yes, but Parish and Town Councils are described in the Act as secondary authorities (South Northamptonshire Council is a primary authority). This power enables Parish and Town Councils to make Dog Control Orders in respect of different offences on land, which is already subject to the proposed Order, or to different land.It is important that Parish Councils will need to consider how they propose to enforce any Dog Control Orders that they wish to make.
