Dog fouling

View pages in this section

All public open areas, as defined by the Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act (1996), including roads and pavements where the speed limit is 40mph or less, are poop-scoop zones in the Staffordshire Moorlands making it an offence not to clean up after your dog. Failure to clean up dog fouling is subject to a £50 on-the-spot fine or, in the event of prosecution, a maximum penalty of £1,000.
