Cleaning

In this section:

Dog fouling

In most public places it is an offence for anyone in charge of a dog to fail to clean up after it when it fouls. The offence carries a maximum fine of £1,000.

Dog mess will be cleared from hard surfaces only, and we aim to remove it within five working days from being reported.

Please report incidences of dog fouling:
