Dog fouling Each day dogs produce vast amounts of excrement. Much of this is left on footpaths and playing fields and at best can cover shoes and clothes and at worst can lead to blindness due to an infection called 'Toxocara canis'. Dog fouling is a health hazard. Ashfield District Council has a legal duty to keep certain types of land which come under its control clear of dog faeces, as far as is practicable. These areas include:
Parks Recreation grounds Children's playgrounds Sports grounds Picnic sites Pedestrianised areas Pavements Verges Footpaths Gutters and carriageways To report dog fouling please contact us.
Prosecution for dog fouling
Prosecution in the Magistrate's court may result in a fine of up to £1,000. Alternatively the Council may issue a fixed penalty notice. Payment of a fixed penalty of £50 within 14 days discharges any liability for the offence. If you fail to pay the fixed penalty you will be prosecuted which could result in a higher fine and responsibility for the court costs. The fixed penalty notice is discretionary; where a persistent offender is known the authority may prosecute.
