Report dog fouling

Tell us if a dog owner has not picked up after their dog on land where the public has access.

Dog fouling is unpleasant to look at, smells and attracts flies. It is also associated with a number of diseases.

It is a criminal offence not to clear up dog fouling immediately on any land to which the public has access. 

If you see someone who does not pick up after their dog, you can report it to us using the online form below.

If you do not clear up your dog's waste and this is reported to us, you will be presented with a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN). This is a fixed fine of £50 that must be paid within 14 days. If it is not paid, you may face increased fines or prosecution.

Clean-up tips for dog owners

  • Always carry a poop-scoop or bags.
  • Ensure bags are tied up before disposal.
  • Place waste inside a dog bin.
  • Bagged waste can also go into a general waste bin.
  • If there is no bin, take waste home.

Dog waste bins

We are under no obligation to install dog waste bins. However, we do provide them on council-owned areas of land including:

  • parks
  • recreation grounds
  • amenity greens
  • countryside areas 

When no dog waste bin is available, you can place your dog waste bag in a general litter bin.
