The information you share helps us tackle dog fouling, and the most effective reports are those that help us identify who is responsible.
If you know the person involved, or where they live, along with the date, time and location of the incident, please report it via our online form: Report dog fouling.
When reporting, any information that could help identify the individual is useful, including:
• Name or address
• Vehicle make, model or registration number
• Date and time of the incident
• Description of the dog
Some residents also provide photos or video footage, which can be helpful. However, we still need to be able to identify the person responsible for the offence.
The more information we receive, the better we can target hotspot areas, identify repeat offenders and take appropriate enforcement action. Even where there is insufficient evidence to issue a Fixed Penalty Notice, we may still be able to send advisory or warning letters.
If you believe everyone should clean up after their dog, why not support our Leave Only Pawprints campaign and become a Pawprints Champion?🐾

Have your say on the Public Space Protection Order - Dog Control. We're consulting on whether the existing PSPO should be renewed when it expires to keep the ability to issue fines for dog fouling, continue to authorise officers to request dogs go onto leads and dogs always on leads in nature reserves and whether additional locations and restrictions should be included within the order.
Extensions may include:
- Warrington Golf Course, the public right of way crossing
- Warrington Golf Course,
- Walton Lea Cemetery consultees are being asked to consider a number of possible approaches.
The consultation aims to ensure that the PSPO continues to strike the right balance between supporting responsible dog ownership and protecting the enjoyment of public spaces, the dignity of cemeteries and burial grounds, and the interests of other users.

♻️🚫 Fly-Tipping Doesn't Pay! Another Successful Prosecution in Warrington 🚫♻️

A Warrington resident has been ordered to pay £1,292 after pleading guilty to offences relating to the improper disposal of household waste and failing to provide information during a council investigation. ⚖️

The case followed the discovery of fly-tipped waste in an alleyway on Wellfield Street, including furniture, cardboard boxes and packaging that had been left on the pavement behind residential properties. 🛋️📦🗑️

Following an investigation, the waste was traced back to the individual responsible. Despite being given opportunities to explain how the waste came to be fly-tipped, no response was received, resulting in court action.

✅ Fine: £480
✅ Victim surcharge: £192
✅ Clean-up costs: £620
✅ Total penalty: £1,292

Councillor John Kerr-Brown, Cabinet Member for Environment, Housing and Public Protection, said:

💬 "Dumping waste on our streets damages neighbourhoods, harms the environment and creates unnecessary costs for taxpayers. We will not hesitate to take enforcement action against those who fail to dispose of their waste responsibly."

📢 Remember: If you're disposing of bulky items, always use legitimate services.

✔️ Arrange a council bulky waste collection
✔️ Use a registered waste carrier
✔️ Always ask for a receipt or waste transfer record
✔️ Check that your waste carrier is properly licensed

Together, we can keep Warrington clean, safe and welcoming for everyone. 🌳🏡💚
