Dog poo

It is illegal to allow your dog, or any dog you are in charge of, to foul the footpath or any other public place. Dog fouling is a nuisance and also a real danger, particularly to young children, and can cause serious illnesses such as toxocara.  

Responsible dog owners clean up after their dog by using a bag or a poop scoop to remove their dog's mess and dispose of it safely. Southwark Council now provides dog mess bins in many of its parks and open spaces for the safe disposal of dog mess.
