Southend has implemented local dog control orders to promote responsible dog ownership
It is an offence for any person to:
- fail to pick up their dogs faeces
- not keep their dog on a lead in certain areas
- not put (and keep) their dog on a lead when asked to do so by an council officer
- allow a dog to enter land from which dogs are excluded
- take too many dogs onto land
Fixed Penalty Notices
We can issue Fixed Penalty Notices to enforce the dog control orders.
