Dog and Animal Fouling

Please help support the Council to provide a healthy and safe environment for residents, their children and holidaymakers by being a responsible dog owner.

Under the Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act 1996, anyone letting a dog in their charge to foul any public access area is committing an offence and will be issued with a fixed penalty of £50. If this is not paid, you could face a fine of up to £1,000.

Make sure you pick up any dog mess straightaway. 

If you want to report someone who is allowing their dog to foul, please contact us (using the details in the yellow box on the right of this page). It will help if you can give us:
  • your name and address
  • the name and address of the offender if known
  • where and when it happened
  • a description of the dog
All calls are dealt with in confidence and your identity is never divulged to others.

Our Dog Welfare Officers can then carry out regular patrols of the area, in order to deter, and where necessary, prosecute the offending dog owner.
