Bad owners ruin it for rest

While I sympathize with responsible dog owners having restricted access to the beach and promenade, they are victims of selfish dog owners that wreck it for everyone.

I don’t know how you correct that problem but until it happens, council should never cave in to allowing access even on a trial basis.

The promenade is used daily by seniors, mothers with young children and joggers. Add dogs into the mix and you’ll have a disaster.

Like other letter writers, on too many occasions I’ve seen the crap left behind by lazy, disrespectful dog owners, not just on the promenade but also the beach where both my grandson and wife have been victims of it.

Dogs are wonderful animals and terrific companions, but council made the right decision.
