City Vision fights to keep much-loved dog off-leash area in Monte Cecilia Park

Puketāpapa Local Board members Jon Turner and Bobby Shen share the disappointment of the community that the Monte Cecilia Park off-leash dog area was formally removed by the Communities and Residents team (C&R’s Ella Kumar, Fiona Lai, Roseanne Hay, and Mark Pervan) at the local board meeting on 17 April.

Here member Jon Turner provides the background to C&R’s decision and City Vision’s fight on behalf of the community to address any issues without the need to penalise responsible dog owners.
