I’ve learn with curiosity the information articles and letters you might have revealed concerning the proposed improve in restrictions for canine homeowners who at present take pleasure in exercising their canines off-lead on the seashores of Hastings and St Leonards.
The areas the place canines are at present permitted is just not extreme. Loads of house stays for many who want to keep away from canines after they go to the seaside.
I assume the proposals are supposed to cut back nuisance from canine fouling and poorly managed canines.
What the proposals don’t have in mind is the truth that these canine homeowners who flout the present guidelines will equally flout any new guidelines. The behaviour of those that are non-compliant won’t change.
The proposals would lead to canines solely being allowed off-lead in the course of the dead nights. Is that this actually wise, with potential hazard from swirling tides and mushy sand? Robberies and muggings will not be unknown in Hastings and forcing folks to stroll on the seaside at midnight, appears sick suggested to me. I’d request that the present restrictions will not be modified.
Curiously, the present signage on seaside steps in St Leonards to the west of the Azur states ‘Canine will not be allowed on this a part of the seaside” regardless of the face that they’re at present allowed. It appears the signage has been put in place earlier than the session interval has ended. Is that this actually a good session or just a sham, with the choice already made and signage positioned?
