Fixed penalties for dog fouling

From the beginning of February fixed penalty tickets are to be issued to dog owners who let their animals foul the pavement or other areas without cleaning up the mess.

This initiative is part of Wigan Council's overall enforcement strategy of issuing Fixed Penalty Notices for Environmental Crime offences (including dog fouling). It is planned to introduce the issuing of tickets to coincide with the fast food litter campaign that is currently being organised to start in February.

Are there any plans to introduce fines for CAT owners, whose cats foul other peoples' gardens?
