Dog Fouling Problems
We receive many complaints about dog fouling problems, but it is difficult to witness and prove and we rely on the help of the public.
If you want to report a dog fouling problem, please read the following tips:
-
Before you contact us, try to find out which particular dogs and their owners are causing the problems,
-
Wherever possible, please try to have a quiet word with the owner first to see if the problem can be resolved, and
-
Keep a note of dates and times if you witness owners letting their dogs foul and not cleaning up, with a brief description of the dog and the owner.
Siting and Emptying of Dog Bins
Our dog bins are emptied three times a week and daily on the seafront during the summer months.
You can report problems with dog litter bins that are damaged or need emptying, or suggest a location for a new bin online, either by using the link from this page to the East Sussex Fault Reporting service, or the Dog Welfare Contact Form below.
