Norwich has a feces problem. The issue was brought up at council earlier this month following a scheduled Easter egg hunt at Peter Lossing Forest where several members of the public had to clean up mounds of feces before the event could be run. Director of Fire and Protective Services, Bob Parsons says there is a bylaw in place which requires residents to pick up after their animals. "The tickets issued for failure to remove feces from a dog in a public property is $150 plus court costs of $30, so $180 in total." Parsons does admit it can be difficult for bylaw officers to issue tickets. "The difficulty is sometimes this occurs when it's not observed by a bylaw officer so it's difficult to issue tickets based on just the information without knowing the owner of the dog or some information as to noting the time and date that that occurred."
