    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Council leader Mike Bell said a public consultation showed “strong support” for the plan.

    The move comes after dog attacks in North Somerset reportedly rose from 385 in 2020 to 480 in 2023.

    “There will be exceptional circumstances and we will need to keep that under review in terms of the operational realities,” Mr Bell said.

    But Portishead South councillor Peter Burden said the rule was “a step too far,” adding the council already had powers to make people put a dog on a lead.

    "Two Labradors came over that were totally out of control, whereas we noticed in the corner of the field there was a man on his own with about 25 beagles.

    The council said more rules for dog owners could soon be implemented to cover specific places in North Somerset.
