A dog exclusion zone comes into force on March 29 and lasts until September 30
As Easter approaches, new council rules regarding dogs on a Lancashire beach will come into force ahead of the busy summer season.
From Good Friday until September 30, an area of beach in St Annes will be prohibited to dogs under a Public Spaces Protection Order. Fylde Council is introducing a dog exclusion zone on the amenity beach, located between the slipway for St Annes Lifeboat Station and the northern end of North Promenade Car Park by the Danfo toilets extending seaward to the mean low water mark.
There is also a seasonal dogs-on-leads restriction for the Promenade and Promenade Gardens between Fairhaven Car Park and North Promenade Car Park for the same period. Throughout the year, councils make it clear that when on beaches, dog owners must keep their dogs under strict control and should make sure to clean up after their pets by using the dog bin facilities provided.However, as the weather heats up and visitor numbers increase, some councils ban dogs altogether.
A council spokesperson said: "The amenity beach area is relatively small, leaving dog walkers a vast amount of beach stretching towards Squires Gate northwards and Lytham Quays southwards. Legislation is in place across the whole borough for the removal and disposal of dog fouling that requires the person in charge of a dog to pick up and dispose of dog fouling in a bin marked suitable for dog waste.
"All litter bins in Fylde are multi-purpose and can be used to dispose of both litter and dog fouling. Offenders can get a fixed penalty notice of £100."
