Dog Owner Shocked to Learn Control Order Imposed (On His OWN Land!)
Dog Control Order On Dog Owner’s Own Land: A pub landlord in Honiton Devon was shocked when he opened his local newspaper and read that East Devon District Council had imposed a dog control order on his own pub, the Vine Inn Yard.
Local reports claim that Mr Hedley Hawkins, who owns the pub’s car park, was oblivious to plans to enforce people to keep dogs on leads there.
Mr Hawkins spoke to the local media and said:
“I own a dog and there’s no way I’m going to restrict my dog on my property.”
“I think the council should have consulted, rather than just do it.”
The decision was announced after the recent county council elections in which a large number of district councillors won seats. He has owned The Vine Inn for 33 years and says: “Vine Yard and Vine Passage, which leads to Vine Yard, are two different things.
“I don’t own Vine Passage, however, nor does anybody else. It is deemed a footpath but was originally only an access for the residents,”
“No one else has got rights to the passage. I look after it and make sure it’s clean and tidy and re-paved where necessary.
“I own the garden off of Vine Passage and the yard at the back, where there is also a footpath.
