One dog mess fine issued in five years

Jersey has run a number of anti-dog fouling campaigns in recent years

Jersey's courts have fined one person in five years for not clearing up after their dog, a new Freedom of Information Act request has revealed.

The fine, issued in St Saviour in 2023, was the only dog-related fine with none being issued for dogs without licenses or threatening wildlife over the same period.

The island has run a number of anti-dog fouling campaigns in recent years.

Two fines, totalling £4,500, were issued for fly tipping and other environmental violations in the last five years.
