WHAT THE LAW SAYS

Initially at least, the main focus of 'shitonmyshoe' is to act as a focus for local concerns, after which a campaign may develop (who knows, it may become national, international or even bigger in time). In the meantime, if you've got shit on your shoe, ring Hackney Council and see how you get on.

Local authorities, including Hackney, have a legal duty to keep the following areas clear of Fido's stuff (so far as is practicable):

Parks
Recreation grounds
Children's playgrounds
Sports grounds
Tourist beaches and promenades
Picnic sites
Pedestrianised areas
Pavements
Verges
Footpaths
Gutters and carriageways

Also they can decide which bits of land you're not allowed to let Fido crap on without getting out your scoop. If the dog sherif catches you there can be a maximum fine of £1,000. If 'shitonmyshoe' supporters catch you, look out - we mean business. Persistent offenders may be named and shamed.
