These problems could be easily solved -
.........
2. Ban dogs off leads from the park and football pitches - enforced by signs and the Park Ranger.
What actions are the council taking?
The answer to the Kippax's question can be found here:

In summary it seems the that Borough Council intends to introduce the following bylaws:
•The Fouling of Land by Dogs (High Peak Borough Council) Order,
which would make it an offence for any person in charge of a dog not to
remove the faeces forthwith from any publicly accessible land open to
the air in the borough of High Peak.
• The Dogs on Leads by Direction (High Peak Borough Council)
Order,
which would make it an offence for a person in charge of a dog
not to comply with a direction given by an authorised officer of High Peak
Borough Council to put and keep the dog on a lead of not more than four
feet in length on any publicly accessible land open to the air in the
borough of High Peak.
• The Dogs Exclusion (High Peak Borough Council) Order,
which would make it an offence for a person in charge of a dog to take the dog
onto, or permit the dog to enter or remain on all enclosed children’s play
areas owned by High Peak Borough Council; all Multi Use Games Areas
(MUGAs) owned by High Peak Borough Council; all tennis courts owned
by High Peak Borough Council; all bowling greens owned by High Peak
Borough Council; within the perimeter of any grounds within the
ownership or control of High Peak Borough Council and marked for use
as a football pitch, whether being used as a football pitch or otherwise;
and all skate parks owned by High Peak Borough Council.
I do not know when or if these bylaws will become applicable.
