Do I Have to Clean Up After My Dog?

The Council has made an order The Fouling of Land by Dogs(Borough of Charnwood) Order 2007 which makes it an offence not to clean up after your dog has fouled on public land.

Provided that you clear up and dispose of the poop scoop in a proper manner you will have no problems.

Anyone who is found not clearing up immediately after the dog has fouled the footpath,verge,park,open space etc may be asked to pay a fixed penalty of £80.00,with a discounted sum of £50.00 if paid within 10 days,or risk the alternative of proceedings in a Magistrates' Court, where the maximum penalty on conviction is £1,000
