What we enforce

We work hard to keep our streets clean and safe, but sometimes we need to remind everyone of their responsibilities by taking enforcement action.

Our team of community patrol officers are responsible for tackling environmental crime and making sure that Rushmoor stays safe and clean.

The team of three respond to complaints made by residents, local organisations, councillors, and visitors to Rushmoor as well as carrying out environmental audits.

Our community patrol officers have a range of powers that allow them to enforce current legislation, which can involve issuing warnings, notices, fixed penalty notices and even court proceedings against alleged offenders.

Our streets enforcement team can take action on:

Getting tough on littering and dog fouling

We are working with East Hants District Council to help keep our streets clean. Officers are issuing fines to people caught dropping litter or failing to pick up after their dog. Please visit our Fixed penalty notices page for more information.

Fixed penalty notices

Offences, which will receive a fixed penalty notice include:

Minor graffiti and fly-posting offences
Fly-tipping
Dropping litter in a public space
Dog fouling
Noise from licensed premises
Abandoning a vehicle
Nuisance parking
Failure to produce authority for transporting waste (waste transfer note)
Failure to provide documentation (waste carrier's licence)
Offences relating to rubbish bins

For a full list of offences and charges, please see our Our fees and charges page.

We refer to our Corporate Enforcement Policy and Environmental Improvement Strategy when considering enforcement action.

In most cases, we will only take action where we have considered other options and the problem remains.
