Which is one reason why dog parks are not a universal solution. But having experienced them in the US, splitting into two with an area for small/timid dogs generally works quite well. There was only one where we ever had any real problems, which was a shame as it was one of the "best" as a space, but we just didn't go there again.

Does that mean that all leads must have a dog appended?
I'm a strong advocate for a licence being required, not only for the safety of others, but also so that dogs would be less likely to fall into the hands of people who are manifestly unsuitable owners.

Bring back dog licences that would stop a lot of chavs buying big dogs and training them to be aggressive.
And people buying dogs as gifts, on a whim.
I disagree. People who are using big dogs and training them to be aggressive are not going to buy a dog licence.
No, but the threat of prosecution for possessing a dog with no licence might act as a deterrent. With legislation like this, you should really let perfection be the enemy of the good. It would be akin to saying that there is no point in speed limits, because some people are going to speed.
In a perfect world, that would certainly be the case, I can only speak for what I've seen first hand but there is zero policing when it comes to dog legislation.
A couple of years ago, doing the school run, there were often parents standing at the gates with barely controlled pit bull types, now and again there would be a copper lingering around and often petting the dogs which were assured to be 'staffie crosses' rather than banned breeds and 'totally harmless' despite snarling at passing children. On the very few occasions that I spoke up about maybe not endangering the lives of small children, I was met with torrents of abuse from the owner and death stares from the cops/hobby bobbies.
Speeding is policed heavily, dogs are not, there's usually a political agenda behind such flagrant cherry picking of which laws to enforce.
I suppose any legislation is as good as its enforcement.
But then legislation isn't law.
The licence fee could pay for dog wardens chavs with devil dogs would be an easy spot and i would imagine neighbours of these idiots world be queuing up to grass them up.
The knobs with dogs is an easy target...as long as the ones handing out the fine doesn't get mauled! There's thousands of big nasty dogs out there...some don't even know it yet.
Chap works with me is off long term after his dog took a dislike to one of his kids...he intervened and the dog absolutely savaged him.

Regrettably not. Do they bother with driving licences, car insurance, TV licences, etc?
Lack of enforcement of laws is a whole other thread. I don't think we should shirk away from trying to address issues because of poor enforcement though.
That's not feasible. It's taken a number of years for someone to be able to find the right land to be able to do this.
They have 2 fields and it's really not cheap.
Not to mention, that 2 fields for around 90,000 residents isn't really enough. All of the slots are taken up by professional dog walkers.
I see both sides of the argument, particularly those in fear.
Personally, my fear is wasps. I'm scared stupid of them. I'd like to vote for putting leads on wasps.
As an aside, people talk about licences.....
Since 2016, dogs have had to be microchipped by law.
