Our local Post Office has a small 'Dogs Not Allowed' sign on it's

I can understand this where food & drink is for sale, or is being
consumed - Health & Safety rules, etc. But this is just a Post Office
with a tiled floor..

Is this just a jobsworth flaunting his power, or is there a valid law
in operation here?

There is no law preventing them from prohibiting dogs provided they
don't fall foul of any other law (discrimination laws etc).


But this is not a 'private shop cum post office'.. It is a Post
Office plus sorting office owned by the Post Office. Staffed by PO
employees.

Maybe the PO have a bye-law?
