Change the dog ban on local beaches in North Tyneside from a complete ban from 1st May - 30th September to a partial ban during these times. During these dates allow dogs on the beach from 19:00 - 09:00.

Dog walkers use the beaches all year around, spring, summer, autumn and winter.  Its a great place for people to give their dogs a good run early morning before they head off to work and in the evenings when they return from work. As dog owners we understand and appreciate that people don't want to be pestered by dogs running around during the summer months whilst spending quality time on the beach with their friends and families, we get that. But, as most people have packed up and left by the evening we don't understand why our dogs then cant also enjoy the beach too.

Its not our dogs that are leaving beer cans, glass bottles, broken glass, pizza boxes, food wrappers, food waste, dirty nappies, cigarette ends etc behind not only looking a complete mess but putting our wildlife in danger too!
