Broadland and South Norfolk Councils are running a free mental health awareness at Shelfanger Village Hall on the on Thursday 21 March from 5.30-7.30pm. This Mental Health Awareness in the Community course will be delivered by Thriving Workplaces. Anyone connected to a community group, parish/town council or any local business in South Norfolk can attend.

You can sign up here.

This is a part of the Mindful Towns and Village project. It is designed to increase the number of local people with mental health knowledge in our communities. The main aim is to provide safe places where people in the local community can come and have a chat and where necessary get signposted to other services, such as the Council Help Hub. Attendees will receive resources: a window sticker, access to website resources, access to a closed Facebook group for Wellbeing Champions, an invitation to the upcoming Community Links meeting.  

For further information on Mindful Towns and Village as well as details on how to register please visit our website https://www.southnorfolkandbroadland.gov.uk/MindfulTowns .

Broadland District and South Norfolk Councils have renewed the existing Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) made under section 59 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, which cover dog fouling across both district areas.

View the Broadland District and South Norfolk Council PSPO documents.

Each PSPO makes it an offence for a person in control of a dog not to clear up the dog mess immediately, on any land that is open to the air and to which the public is entitled or permitted to have access (with or without payment).

In South Norfolk, the PSPO also restricts the presence of dogs in play areas, making it an offence for you to take your dog into any enclosed play area or children’s playground.

Offenders in Broadland and South Norfolk are subject to a fixed penalty notice of £100, reduced to £80 if paid within 10 days, or if taken to court, a fine up to £1,000.

In order for an offence to be investigated, we will need to know the address of the owner and as much information as possible including a description of both the dog(s) and the owner.

If you see someone allowing their dog to foul and not clear it up, and if you know the owner’s details you can report this using the links below (please do not submit photographs of the waste itself).

Report an offence of dog fouling in Broadland or South Norfolk

Where an area is in need of cleansing due to dog fouling, please report this to us using the following links:
