How we deal with dog fouling
Once we receive your report of dog fouling, we will:
make contact with the owner, if you know who they are
use the information you provide to carry out patrols in the area
If the dog owner does not clear up after their dog, we will give them a fixed penalty notice. If they don’t pay the fixed penalty notice, we will take them to court.
