Cheshire East Council says it will 'not be complacent' when it comes to tackling the problem of dog fouling.
The authority is reminding irresponsible dog owners that anyone failing to pick up their dog's mess will receive a £50 fine.
Cheshire East Councillor Rachel Bailey, Cabinet member with responsibility for safer and stronger communities, said: "Dog fouling is unacceptable and we will continue to educate dog owners to take responsibility for their pets.
"No one likes to see dog waste in the street or in their local park. Not only is it unattractive but it also poses a severe health risk, particularly to young children.
"We will not hesitate to issue fixed penalty notices of £50 as part of tough action against irresponsible owners.
"I would like to reassure all dog owners and the wider community that we will not become complacent. We will persevere with our efforts to rid our parks and open spaces of dog mess and protect the public's health.
"Community warden officers have carried out 22 campaigns in problem areas since April this year already, following reports from local people. Those caught could face a fine of up to £1,000 if they fail to pay.
"There is no excuse for the minority of dog owners who consistently fail to clear up their pet's mess. We will not allow dog fouling to spoil people's enjoyment of their local environment."
