What the service is
If you think dog fouling is an issue where you live, you can ask for a No Dog Fouling sign to be placed there.
We only place No Dog Fouling signs in public places, not on private property or residential buildings.
Before you ask for it
You’ll need to tell us:
- an exact address for the sign, or the name of a local landmark or nearby place - not a residential address as we only place signs in public spaces.
- your name
- your phone number or email.
We’ll only contact you if we need more information about your request.
You can upload photos where you want the sign to be placed.
You can also tell us any other useful information, for example, if a previous sign has been removed or damaged, or how long the dog fouling has been an issue.
There is a separate form for reporting a dog owner who does not pick up their dog's fouling.

You can also ask for a No Dog Fouling sign by:
- phone on 0300 300 0380

After you’ve asked for a sign placement
If you’ve given us an email address, we’ll send you a confirmation email with a reference number.
We may contact you if we need more information about your request.
If we think a sign is needed where you’ve asked for it to be placed, we’ll put it up within 7 days of your request. This could be permanent signage, posters or stickers attached to street furniture, bins or lampposts.
However, we may not place a sign if there are already No Dog Fouling signs nearby, or we do not consider dog fouling to be an issue in the area.
