The Dog Beach Consultation opens on Monday 5 August
We have 4 weeks to revert the ban on the beaches

The public consultation sets out three choices for dog controls on the beaches in the east of Hastings - the Stade beach and Rock-a-Nore beach.
The choices are:
Current dog controls- Keep the dog exclusion areas as they are; no dogs allowed on the Stade beach or Rock-a-Nore beach from 1 April to 30 September.
Option 1 - Removing the dog exclusion zone on the Stade beach so dogs would be allowed on this beach all year round. Keeping the dog exclusion zone from 1 April to 30 September on Rock-a-Nore in place.
Option 2 - Removing the dog exclusion zone on both Rock-a-Nore and Stade beach so dogs are allowed at all times all year round on both.
The Stade Beach is a working beach, where fishermen’s dogs are considered working dogs and free to roam without restrictions.
