Please Pick Up After Your Dog – Keep Kilsby Clean

Please Pick Up After Your Dog – Keep Kilsby Clean

Kilsby Parish Council would like to remind all dog owners and walkers of the importance of cleaning up after their pets. While most residents are responsible, we continue to receive reports of dog fouling around the village, particularly along footpaths, pavements, and grassed areas used by children.

Dog fouling is unpleasant, unhygienic, and can spread harmful diseases such as toxocariasis. Please do your part to keep our village safe and enjoyable for everyone by always carrying bags and disposing of waste in the nearest litter or dog bin.

Reporting Dog Fouling Offences

If you witness dog fouling or know of persistent offenders, you can report it directly to West Northamptonshire Council. Reports can be made online via their website or by phone. The Council’s Environmental Crime team can investigate and, where appropriate, take enforcement action.

Report online: West Northamptonshire Council – Report Dog Fouling

Telephone: 0300 126 7000

Your reports help the authorities to target problem areas and take action against irresponsible owners.

A Shared Responsibility

Together we can keep Kilsby a clean, welcoming, and safe place for all. Please be considerate, set a good example, and encourage others to do the same.

Thank you for helping us to look after our community.
