Dogs on beaches (2)

This morning at 09:50 there were ten people on Porthmeor Beach - and just as many dogs. Leaving aside for the moment the horrors of dog fouling, I don't see why I should have to share the beach with a pack of hounds on a Sunday morning.

New signs have gone up since my last post on the subject. Now dogs are banned from some beaches from 1 May and September 30 - at least we are rid of the fuzzy 'Easter Day' problem. But the confusion is likely to persist because there are different rules and penalties for different beaches. A ban on dogs on beaches throughout the year with hefty fines for offenders would make things clear.
