Dog Fouling

Residents who fail to clean up after their dogs could be liable for a fine of £50, payable within 14 days. Under the Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act 1996' and the Environmental Protection Act  the Council can serve notices to anyone committing this offence in public places. Refusing to pay could lead to prosecution, which if successful could result in a fine of up to £1,000.


Please help us to protect the environment and report suspected offenders to the Helpline on 01992 785577 or email us online to environment@broxbourne.gov.uk
