Pet owners could soon be able to rent a park to take their dogs for a stroll, according to new plans submitted in Newport. Proposals to turn part of a field east of the city next to Forresters Oak in Chepstow Road, Llandevaud, into a secure dog walking area were submitted to Newport City Council this week.
If approved the plans would see the area rented out to the public on an hourly basis every day between 6am and 9pm during the summer months and from 7am to 7pm in the winter. The dog-walking facility would include a small parking area and would allow two people at a time to use the space.
According to the application, submitted by consultants L A Righton Rural Planning Consultancy on behalf of Miss Gallagher, the project would "serve local residents and those travelling to and from Newport and Chepstow" and would "work well for those wishing to walk their dog on route to a place of work before dropping off with a dog minder or taking to the office".
