We want everyone to be able to enjoy open spaces in the district and to walk in our streets without fear of treading in dog fouling.

Two more people from Folkestone found not to clear up after their dog were fined at Folkestone Magistrates’ Court on Friday 8 November.

  • Dean Marsh, of Ivy Way, pleaded guilty of a PSPO breach in Tram Road: £150 fine, £50 costs, £60 victim surcharge
  • Kurt Metalle, of Bouverie Road West, was found guilty of a PSPO breach in The Old High Street: £200 fine, £200 costs, £80 victim surcharge.

You can use a dog or litter bin to dispose of the waste. If there isn’t one available, take it home and dispose of it there.

We encourage residents, visitors and those who work in the district to take a zero tolerance approach to dog fouling. If you see irresponsible dog walkers in the district, make a note of their details and let us know.
