Brighton and Hove Council will be banning dogs from all beaches between April and September and this also includes the promenade and undercliff walk.It seems reasonable to keep beaches dog free in the main tourist areas, most responsible dog owners probably agree with this and wouldn't take their dogs to those busy areas anyway. But is banning dogs from all beaches going a bit far when there are far more important matters to focus on in Brighton and Hove, such as the ongoing waste management problem (today there is a hideous amount of smelly rubbish strewn all over the street outside the brighton.co.uk office)?
I can't remember the last time, if ever, I stepped in dog poo on Brighton Beach but I have stepped in: broken glass, rotting food, sat accidentally in black ashes from bonfires, and almost stepped on a upwardly pointed used needle - with bare feet. Will banning dogs from all beaches make them safer and cleaner?
