Department staff from DEFA have been verbally abused when asking visitors to comply with dog lead rules at Millennium Oakwood, this is according to a social media post from DEFA (Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture) – Hills, Forests & Glens.
Currently there is a temporary ‘dogs on lead’ policy at the Millennium Oakwood due to the type of machinery in operation during the maintenance of the area.
Dogs are to be kept on a lead between 8am and 4:30pm from Monday to Friday.
A failure to keep your dog on the lead is a breach of the byelaws which carries a penalty of up to £1,000.
