Dogs on beaches (6)

This week's St Ives Times & Echo publishes a letter from St Ives Town Councillor Tamsyn Williams, who writes to say that she has had many complaints from people, including dog owners, about the new regulations which allow dogs on beaches from 7p.m to 8 a.m. over the next few months.

Cllr Williams makes the point that "it isn't just the dog mess which is worrying but also that children and dogs don't always mix happily...". Quite so, as a contributor to The St Ivean recently pointed out.

People can object to the new regulations (although it's too late to change the regulations for this summer) which, Cllr Williams says, will be reviewed next February, by contacting the Environmental Health Manager, Penwith District Council, St Clare, Penzance TR18 3QW or by telephoning on (01736) 336641.

You can also report instances of dog fouling to Penwith by using the FixMyStreet website.
