Dog fouling

This is an environmental crime. Dog owners can be fined on the spot if they don’t clean up after their dog. The amount varies from council to council. It’s often £50 but can be as much as £80.

We understand neighbours not cleaning up after their dogs can be very unpleasant. Try speaking to your neighbour first, using these tips. Try to communicate that it is their responsibility to clean up after their dog.
