Popular beach near Greater Manchester issues new £100 warning to dog owners
manchestereveningnews.co.ukNew council rules regarding dogs on a beach near Greater Manchester will come into force from Easter weekend. An area of beach at St Annes in Lancashire will be prohibited to dogs from Good Friday (March 29) to September 30, Lancs Live reports.
The ban falls under a Public Spaces Protection Order. Fylde Council is introducing a dog exclusion zone on the amenity beach - found 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.
The council will also enforce 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.
