Chelmsford’s Canine Code
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.”

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.
