DERBY — Dogs are no longer welcome on the Green.
The Board of Aldermen voted 5-2 Thursday to ban dogs from the Green, on Elizabeth Street across from the Sterling Opera House, until further notice.

Board President Kenneth Hughes said he has heard similar complaints from residents and has seen the problem on the Green himself.
