It is now illegal not to clear up the mess left by your dog. This applies to
all parks and open spaces, all roads and pavements, including roadways and gutters,
open spaces and highway verges. Enforcement officers inspect these areas regularly.
Dogs are also excluded from some areas of parks, mainly children's playgrounds.
A fixed penalty notice of £50 is issued
to those in charge of the dog at the time.
Failure to pay within 14 days could result in £1,000
fine through prosecution in the Magistrates Court.
Under the "Scoop That Poop" scheme, 200 dog-waste bins are now sited
throughout the Borough. Replacement street names now display the anti-dog fouling
logo.
This action is helping to achieve the high standards of street
cleanliness that residents of the Borough expect. However, action will only work
in a joint effort undertaken by the entire community: the Council, dog-owners
and pedestrians alike. |
With over 200
dedicated dog waste bins throughout the Borough, there is no excuse to leave
dog mess on the streets and in parks.
