Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Plans for dogs to be banned from playgrounds and forced to wear leads
I wonder how easy this will be to enforce?
Plans are underway to ban dogs from playgrounds and force owners to keep them on leads in streets and parks.
The requirements form part of new dog control and dog exclusion orders - set up to control unruly behaviour by pets in designated areas across the borough.
If it goes ahead, safer neighbourhood teams will have the power to force owners to put their dogs on leads in areas including roads, car parks, council housing estates and parks more than half a hectare in size.
The proposals will now open to consultation after Haringey Council’s cabinet agreed to the move at a meeting on Tuesday.
Cllr Nilgun Canver, cabinet member for the environment, said in her report: “Orders that allow for dogs to be placed on a lead or required to be placed on a lead will ensure that dogs are better controlled. Aggressive behaviour and irresponsible dog ownership, such as fouling, can therefore be more easily challenged.”

bit more info here in the Haringey Independent.
Personally i do not think it i such a bad idea although how it will be appropriately enforced in another issue.
DOGS could be banished from playgrounds and owners ordered to keep them on a lead in public according to new powers being considered by Haringey Council.
The new dog control orders could force dogs to be on a lead on pavements, roads, car parks and communal areas of housing estates.
If approved, the orders will give police the power to instruct dog owners to put their pet on a leash anywhere in the borough.
And dogs could be banned from all Haringey's playgrounds and Noel Park Recreation Ground.
The council says the orders are in response to complaints from friends of parks, Haringey residents, and from the police about dog fouling and out of control dogs.
Councillors agreed last week to a consultation on the plans in the new year, with a view to implementing the new powers by July next year.
