Report dog fouling

Dog fouling is the offence of being in charge of a dog and failing to remove the mess from a public place.

It is the responsibility of the dog owner to clean up after the dog if it fouls in a public area. Failure to do so may incur an on-the-spot Fixed Penalty Notice of £80. The maximum fine is £1,000.

There are Enforcement Officers patrolling the District to carry out enforcement of the law and we also receive reports from the public. If you witness someone committing a dog fouling offence, please report it to us.
