N.Ireland dog owners against banning dogs from West Strand beach PORTRUSH

Dear Coleraine Borough Council
Do not ban all dogs from using Portrush West Strand and the wee beach. To punish all dog walkers and their dogs because of a few irresponsible dog owners who do not clean up after the dog is ludicrous.

Why is this important?

Portrush is a fantastic place to live and visit due to its natural beauty including its beaches, This beach has been enjoyed by dogs and their owners for as long as I can remember over 30 years and 30 years before that and that again I have no doubt. To enforce this ban would surely stop people from visiting the area, how can that be a good thing when so much money has been spent in the town in recent years.
