Press Release

Be a responsible dog owner

July 2008

Islington Council wants Islington to be clean and safe for everyone.

From the 14th July 2008 there are new Dog Control Orders with a Fixed Penalty charge of £80.00 if you;

• fail to clean up after your dog in a public area
• refuse to put your dog on a lead when asked to do so by an authorised officer, in a public area
• allow your dog into clearly marked dog free areas.

On Homes for Islington housing estates it will be our ASB Out of Hours Team who will tackle people they find committing these offences.

To report problems with dog fouling and other irresponsible dog ownership call 0207 527 2000
