Dog fouling

Dog fouling poses significant health and environmental risks, making it essential for anyone in charge of a dog, to clean up after them.

Dog waste can contain harmful parasites such as Toxocara Canis, which may cause toxocariasis - a condition that can lead to serious illness and even blindness, especially in young children. Leaving dog waste in public places is unsightly and unhygienic and can contaminate soil and waterways, affecting both people and wildlife.

Reporting dog fouling helps us take effective action to keep our communities clean and safe. If you have seen someone not clearing up after their dog has fouled, you can report it below and we will do our best to investigate.

If you come across an area that is in need of cleansing due to dog fouling, please report this to us using the following links:

If you think an area is in need of a dog waste bin, you can use the link at the top right-hand side of this page to request one or contact Damian.webb@southnorfolkandbroadland.gov.uk.

If there isn't a dog waste bin nearby, you can still bag the waste and and place it in your general household wheelie bin - please do not leave bagged waste discarded in verges, kerbs or hanging on trees or bushes.

South Norfolk Council and Broadland District Council have both made Public Spaces Protection Orders for dog fouling and dog control. You can use the links below to read about them.
