Can I take my dog on the beach?

Councillors approved a new dog control public space protection order (PSPO) at Cabinet on Monday 6 March. This will govern how, when and where dogs are allowed on the beaches in the borough. Council officers are currently working on implementing the updated PSPO, which includes updating signage and communicating the restrictions. The new restrictions are due to be in place in time for the school summer holidays in July.

Full details of the changes to the dog control PSPO were discussed at the Cabinet meeting on Monday 6 March. You can watch the video online, and read the changes in the meeting papers.
