denlin Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Are you sure it's dog muck, in middle of road it's generally horse muck - having said that it is not hard to distinguish between them:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDeville Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Hi It is an offence to leave dog mess behind, fact. Signs usually state 'pavement' but it is the clearing up that is the offence. Report the offenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliceBB Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Yes, it is an offence, unless it's a road with a speed limit of 50mph or more. See: http://www.environmentlaw.org.uk/rte.asp?id=50 It usually comes under council bye-laws, so I guess it would be up to them to prosecute/fine.

HeadingNorth Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 It would count as littering if nothing else, if it's being thrown into the road from elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Would kicking a discarded can be illegal? Fair point. I was thinking of it being thrown into the road from, say, your own garden, if it was your dog. Removing dog muck from the pavement and putting it into the road .. I'm not sure. That would be fairly analogous to your kicking a can around - you haven't created litter, just moved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I was thinking of. I frequently flick, into the road, crap left by others on the grass verge in front of my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nice for the cyclists and other road users. Better to identify whose dog is dumping it there in the first place and return it them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
