Human Waste

Case reference FOI2025/00031

Received 30 June 2025

Published 4 July 2025

Request

Please could I have answered the following questions: How many incidents have you been called to of human excrement or urine in a public space in your council area since January 2020? Please could each incident be broken down into what was found, where it was found (eg street name/park name) and when it was found? Did you clean up all incidents? Please could I also have the report that the complainant sent/phone operator wrote down when the complaint was made for each one

Response

Please find attached a spreadsheet with the number of of human fouling incidents (faeces) recorded from January 2020 to the end of June 2025. The second tab lists the date and location information.

All incidents will have been been cleaned up by our street cleansing team.

 

We are unable to supply operator notes as we do not hold this information nor do we hold data on urination.
