Our message is clear. If you don't clean up after your pet then you are breaking the law and could face a £80 fixed penalty, rising to £100 if not paid within 28 days.
You can report dog fouling using the online form below. This form cannot be used to report dog fouling in a private garden.
Report Dog Fouling (this should take around 2 minutes)
What happens next
- An officer will investigate within 24 hours.
- If the dog fouling is present on a pavement, roadway etc. this will be classed as priority and removed as soon as possible.
- Where there is a named suspect, Litter Control will visit and make them aware that a complaint has been received. Where evidence exists they may be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice. (We never identify the source of the complaint).
