This consultation is now closed. The responses are being analysed and a report will be taken to the council's Cabinet for discussion.

The council is carrying out a review of the dog control public space protection order for dog controls on the beaches.

We were consulting the public on proposed changes to the dog exclusion zones at the Rock-a-Nore beach and the Stade/fishing beach. There were three options proposed by the council.

People were being asked to choose which option they would like to see in place.

The options were:

• Current dog controls- Keep the dog exclusion areas as they are; no dogs allowed on the Stade beach or Rock-a-Nore beach from 1 April to 30 September.
• Option 1 - Removing the dog exclusion zone on the Stade beach so dogs would be allowed on this beach all year round.  Keeping the dog exclusion zone from 1 April to 30 September on Rock-a-Nore in place.
• Option 2 - Removing the dog exclusion zone on both Rock-a-Nore and Stade beach so dogs are allowed at all times all year round on both.

This consultation is now closed. The responses are being analysed and a report will be taken to the council's Cabinet for discussion.
