What can be done about dog fouling?
The Dog Warden can patrol areas and if notified of specific
days/times of offenders will patrol at these particular
times. If a dog owner is caught not removing fouling
they will be issued with a fixed penalty notice of
£50. If the complainant knows the name and address
of the offender the Dog Warden will visit the premise or send a
letter. 'No Fouling' notices can be fixed to local lamp
posts. Environmental Management can arrange to clear the
fouling.
