Ryde Town Council is stepping up efforts to combat the growing issue of dog fouling within our community. As a Council dedicated to the well-being and cleanliness of our town, we are committed to ensuring that public spaces remain safe and clean for all residents and visitors.
Recent observations have shown an alarming increase in instances of dog fouling on our streets, parks, and footpaths. Working in collaboration with Isle of Wight Council Environment Officers they will be conducting regular patrols to identify and address incidents of dog fouling.
Penalties for offenders
We want to remind all pet owners that failing to clean up after your dog is not only inconsiderate, but also illegal.
Offenders may face stringent penalties, including a £100 Fixed Penalty Notice issued on the spot by Enforcement Officers. In severe cases, fines of up to £1,000 may be imposed upon prosecution.
We call upon all residents to join us in our efforts to maintain a clean and pleasant environment in Ryde. By responsibly disposing of pet waste, we can ensure that everyone can enjoy our public spaces. PLEASE… bag it & bin it!
You can use any bin to place your dog poo in, there is no excuse!
Report dog fouling
You can report dog fouling to be cleared via the Island roads website.
