Summer reminder to dog owners
During summer the Taylor River reserve is a popular place to be but please remember this is a shared exercise area – for dogs and people.
The river banks are one area in central Blenheim where dogs can run off the leash but they must remain under the control of their owner at all times. Owners are also required to pick up after their dogs.
Have a look at the SmartMap on Council’s website to see where dogs are allowed off the leash, where they can be walked on a lead and where they are not permitted.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated
