Dog fouling
We can fine you £100 if you allow a dog, which you are responsible for, to foul and not clear it up immediately when in a public place.
Public places include:
- footways and paths, including public footpaths
- play areas, picnic sites and outdoor eating places
- sports playing pitches
- formal parks and land where the grass is cut
- land outside schools and hospitals
- car parks, public transport bays and surrounds
- cycle ways and surfaced areas near to houses
- shopping areas, markets and public circulation areas
- cemeteries and war memorials
- land surrounding toilets, recycling sites and public buildings
