There have been many reports of dog fouling around our village and in the Children’s Park, rear of Abbey Road. A dedicated group of residents perform regular Litter-Picks to help keep
the village tidy, they do not and should not have to pick up dog mess. It is the responsibility of dog owners to do this.
ANY ONE WHO DOES NOT PICK UP WHEN THEIR DOG FOULS CAN BE FINED £100 OR FACE COURT (MAX PEN £1,000)
IRRESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERS COULD ALSO BE NAMED AND SHAMED.
IF YOU WITNESS DOG FOULING OR HAVE INFORMATION ON THE IDENTITY OF THE OWNER. YOU CAN REPORT THIS TO DARLINGTON BOROUGH COUNCIL
ENFORCEMENT TEAM DIRECTLY AND THEY WILL INVESTIGATE AND POTENTIALLY FINE THE PERPETRATOR
