Litter and dog fouling

Litter picking and litter bins

The parish council employs 3 part time staff to litter pick from the residential roads (where we have delegated authority from Buckinghamshire Council), recreation ground and playgrounds (within the ownership of the parish council) and along key permissive paths/rights of way.  We also provide numerous litter bins around the village and in our play areas, which our litter pickers empty on a regular basis.

If you are interested in litter picking on a voluntary basis then you might like to visit this website: https://litteraction.org.uk/pitstone-ivinghoe-pickers

Dog Fouling

The parish council owns a number of dog bins around the parish and meets the cost of the twice weekly emptying throughout the year.

It is your responsibility to clear up after your dog if it fouls in a public area. Owners who don’t comply can be fined up to £1000.

To report dog fouling please report via FixMyStreet.

Dog Identification

As of 6 April 2016, all dogs must be microchipped and registered to an approved database by the time they are 8 weeks old. Please remember that you must also keep your dog’s microchip information up-to-date.

By law, all dogs in public places should wear a collar and tag giving the name of the owner and their address and telephone number.  This law still applies despite the requirement for microchipping your dog.
