    I see glass and other human rubbish on the beach. Not seen doggy poop, or any trouble between dogs.

    I've filled out the form.

    They should ban humans unless accompanied by a dog. On a more serious note we just wouldn't go anywhere where our lab is banned, if it's too good for him it must also be too good for us.

    I've done the form, I stated that I feel the upsurge of devil dogs has spoilt it for the rest of us....

    I've submiitted the form and suggested if they MUST ban dogs why not consider 50% of the beach and/or only from 11am to 6pm as in my experience people like to walk their dogs either early or a bit later when there are less people around.

    I have no problems with fines as all dog owners should pick up, if they don't hang them, they are spoiling it for everyone.

    Its like this all over Norfolk. The one beach we can take the dogs all year round, you still get the miserable sods who complain if the dog is running loose. I mean for gods sake, my two little boys are like animated teddy bears, how people can say they are frightened of them ................... I think we should have some dog only beaches to be honest. When we went to somerset last year there was no problem on most small beaches. They have one area at Weston where only dog owners go.

    As others have said, I have rarely seen dog poo on a beach but Ive seen plenty of half eaten food, plastic bags, broken bottles, tin cans, dirty nappies, syringes and condoms. Id rather go to a dog beach than a people one!

    Me too! At least dogs don't get drunk and rowdy.

    I think they should have beaches where children are banned too, so that us folk who don't have any little ones can enjoy some quiet.


    Plus, I don't want to spend £500+ on a holiday cottage and find I can only use a beach in unsociable hours.
    There are certain beaches (which is perfect) where one side is for dogs and the other side, they are banned. I like this idea, as there is less chance of my dogs getting hurt on discarded carp selfish people leave behind. And less whingers on 'my' side.

    I've completed it. Northumberland is our favourite place to holiday in the UK. I won't be going again if this comes into force. I always clean up after my dog, and have never seen dog mess on the beaches I've visited - just picnic rubbish and soiled nappies. Vile humans are more of a risk to my dogs than the other way around.

    This appears to be what they are talking about a ban on parts of some beachs

    I can find anything about listed about which beachs it would be
