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 targeted 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.
