Residents face a spot fine of £75 or £50 depending on
when it is paid or up to £1,000 at court.
But Kate Wild, cabinet member for
community cohesion and partnerships, told a council meeting last month just
five had been fined in the last year.
The official minutes said: “She stressed
the council operated an increasingly proactive approach to tackling dog fouling
within Solihull .”
Green group leader Karl Macnaughton
said “dog fouling was a significant issue and five fixed penalty
notices appeared to be disproportionately low”.
