Dog Fouling

Under the Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act 1996 any person who permits a dog that is in their charge to foul any area to which the public has access is committing an offence. Redditch Borough Council provides bins in parks and other public areas which may be used by dog owners. We are responsible for monitoring dog fouling and initiating court proceedings against offenders.

In all green spaces we ask that dogs are kept under control and in some areas be kept on a lead ensuring the enjoyment of other users. Please look out for signs  in areas where dogs must be kept on a lead.
