While Council’s bylaw prohibiting dogs in central Blenheim will be lifted for the whole of October, it’s important that dog owners are responsible during this time.

Dog owners will be able to identify dog-friendly retailers by a paw print sticker displayed on the shop window or door.

DA's Barn Restaurant & Bar chef Matt Robinson says "It's quite funny for such a wide street, I even know of the odd local that's done it."
