Dog fouling resources at East Riding of Yorkshire Council

Unfortunately some people are taking advantage of the current lockdown situation of Covid-19 to not pick up their dog mess – the rules haven’t changed if your dog fouls you pick it up or be fined. Report incidents to the ERYC by simply paying attention to details so that you can relay the information so that they can be issued with a fixed penalty notice. Descriptions of the person, where they live and the dog can ensure that they are reprimanded.
