Dog Fouling
1st of August, 2023
Dog mess is probably the most unacceptable and offensive type of litter on our streets. It is not only deeply unpleasant, it can cause toxocariasis - a nasty infection that can lead to dizziness, nausea, asthma and in very rare cases blindness.
Preston City Council are responsible for clearing up dog mess and they also have powers to issue Fixed Penalty Notices to offenders - however you MUST report the offence to the City Council using this link
Try to make a note of the following, so that they can identify and take action against offenders:
- date
- time
- location (please be as accurate as possible)
- what you witnessed
- description of the dog owner
- description of dog
If there is insufficient information to investigate your report then the Council's Neighbourhood Services team will attempt to carry out a clean up only.
