Belfast dog owners will have to pay more for not picking up after their pooches after councillors vote to raise fouling fines
Belfast Council is to sharply increase its fines for dog fouling, with new penalties reaching two and a half times the current level.
The decision in Belfast follows a change in regulations at all local authorities which came into effect last December. The new regulations, covering people who litter, dog owners who fail to clean up their pets' foul, and who fail to put a dog on a lead in designated areas, specify that penalties will not be less than £50 and not more than £200.
