Information about the Law regarding Dogs

The Cotswold District Council Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), makes it an offence if you do not remove any poo deposited by your dog. This removal must be done without delay.

Any breach of the Order could result in a £100 fixed penalty notice or being taken to court and receiving a fine on conviction of up to £1,000. The PSPO does not apply to blind or partially-sighted people with guide dogs and those with other trained assistance dogs.

You can read or download the CDC Environmental Nuisances Leaflet regarding Dog Fouling.  It will open in a new window.
