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 responsibile 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
Report a dog fouling problem
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.
