On request Community Wardens may provide posters in an area affected by dog fouling.
If someone wishes to report a dog owner who doesn’t clean up after their dog giving a statement with details of the offender, the dog, and a note of the time and place the incident occurred, our Community Wardens will decide whether the matter can be taken further. The more accurate and specific the information that is provided, the greater the chance that this will result in a dog fouler being penalised with a Fixed Penalty Notice.
