Please pick up after your dog

We’ve received reports that some dog owners are not picking up after their dogs or are leaving waste bags behind. This is unpleasant and unfair for everyone in our community.

Wootton Parish Council has provided 16 dog waste bins throughout the parish, and you can also use any general litter bin, or take it home with you.  So there’s no excuse to leave dog mess on pavements or paths.

West Northamptonshire Council’s Public Spaces Protection Order requires all dog owners to:

  • Pick up after their dog immediately
  •  Carry appropriate means (e.g., dog waste bags) to do so

Failure to comply can result in a £100 fixed penalty notice.

The full Public Spaces Protection Order can be found on West Northamptonshire Council’s website.

Due to the increase in dog fouling, we will be reporting this issue to WNC enforcement officers and requesting additional patrols.

We would like to thank the responsible dog owners who already do their part to keep Wootton clean and safe.

Let’s all work together to take care of our community!
