Dear Mr Roberts

Further to your Freedom of Information Request in respect of dog
fouling, I am unable to provide information for 2005 and 2006 as the
information is not held in a recorded format that is easily accessible.
Therefore to provide you with figures for 2005 and 2006 would exceed
"the appropriate limit" as stated in The Freedom of Information and Data
Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004. However, I
can provide you with figures from 2007 onwards which are set out below.

How many complaints did you receive of dog fouling for the periods of
01.01.2005 to 01.09.2012, please give yearly figures.

2007/08 428
2008/09 981
2009/10 1098
2010/11 1317
2011/12 604
2012/13 340 (up to 01.09.12)

How many fixed penalty notices for dog fouling were issued for the same
period, please give yearly figures.

2007/08 12
2008/09 6
2009/10 18
2010/11 6
2011/12 52
2012/13 45 (up to 01.09.12)

If the council participated in any dog fouling campaigns please give
dates.

The Council has introduced a new dog fouling campaign (poster attached)
which is to be displayed on billboards, bus rears etc and also through
radio advertisements.

The Enforcement Team carry out regular surveillance exercises in hot
spot areas where we have received reports/complaints of dog fouling.

I trust this answers your queries.

Yours sincerely

Claire
