It is against the law to let your dog, or a dog you are in charge of, foul on public land without cleaning up after and putting the mess in a suitable bin. Anyone caught breaking the law in this way can be given an on the spot fixed penalty notice, which can lead to a much larger fine for non-payment or persistent offenders.

Use our form to report dog fouling. We'll use these reports to make sure the dog mess is cleaned up in our normal street or park cleaning rounds. If you know the address of the person in charge of the dog at the time, we can follow this up with enforcement action, but only if you are prepared to give evidence in court.
