Chelmsford’s Canine Code
Chelmsford Borough Council has proposed a ‘Dog Code of Conduct’ at Hylands Park to help promote a welcoming environment for both dog and non dog owners.

KC Dog, the Kennel Club’s responsible dog owners group in place to help dog owners protect their rights, welcomes the proposal.

The Council is now looking for feedback from the public regarding this proposed code of conduct for dogs. The proposals include introducing certain restrictions for dog walkers (for example in children’s areas, food areas and car parks), however 97% of the park (around 560 acres) will remain open to responsible dog walkers.

Hylands Park Visitor Services & House Manager Nicki Matthews, said: “Following some complaints regarding dog and owner behaviour, Hylands has entered a period of consultation to help shape a solution and continue to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all park users, be they dog-lovers or otherwise.”

You can view the map showing the proposed areas by clicking here.

The Council is urging both dog and non dog owning residents to respond with comments before Sunday 14 February, when the consultation closes.

KC Dog has responded to the consultation and will continue to work with Chelmsford Borough Council to ensure any measures introduced are fair and proportionate.

New form for online veterinary medicines retailers

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has produced a new online form for retailers wishing to sell veterinary medicines on the internet.

The form replace the previous Word version and is part of the VMD's ongoing commitment to digitise its processes. Anyone retailing prescription medicines online, including POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS categories, is lawfully required to register with the VMD before trading.

The change only applies to new applicants. Retailers already listed on the VMD's Register of Online Retailers or registered under the Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS) do not need to do anything.
