Petition Amend restriction times for dogs on beaches
Dogs are restricted to being on a lead on all beaches between 10.30 am and 6.00 pm between 1st May to 30th September. Beaches can become overcrowded during this period of restriction especially when the tide is high.
More details
Why continue the restrictions until 30th September when not only are children back at school but potentially the peak tourist season is at an end?
Given that the beaches tend to be most popular between June and early September, it would make sense to amend the restriction period to between 30th May to 7th September. This would ensure that dog owners have more weeks to let their dogs off the lead to enjoy the beaches and, for those energetic dogs, more freedom when off a lead allowing plenty of exercise.
