Please Help Keep Brundall Tidy: Dispose of Dog Waste Responsibly 💩
Brundall Parish Council has received many comments recently about an increase in dog waste on pavements and footpaths in the village. We recently installed some new dog bins in key areas identified in the village.
In 2022, Broadland District Council implemented a Public Spaces Order across Broadland that requires dog owners to pick up and dispose of their dog's waste in a suitable waste receptacle (dog or litter bin).
It applies to all public and private open land to which the public has access, with or without payment, including all public highways (verges, footways, and footpaths), all public parks, sports grounds, playing fields and play areas.
Failure to pick up and dispose of the dog waste in an appropriate place can leave the person responsible for the dog at the time liable to a fixed penalty fine of up to £1000. Ignorance of your dog's defecation, or not having a poo bag, is not considered a suitable defence.
Brundall Parish Council has contacted the relevant authorities to request a visit to the village to spot-check and, if necessary, enforce this order.
Clearing up after your dog makes all public spaces cleaner and healthier for everyone.
