Dog owners are responsible and they should be allowed to let there dogs still go to the beach throughout the summer, we are being victimised as pet owners, there is far more littering and rubbish ie: dirty nappies left after visitors have gone home, so we need to do something about this discrimination, money is also lost from visitors to southend who now say that they will not visit the resort in the summer because they cannot bring their dogs, so the problem is not just a local one, something needs to be changed !! A suggestion would be to allow dogs on beach within a certain area as it used to be a few years ago. Please sign to help change this ridiculous law....
