DEAR News Of The Area,

I write in regards to the dog problem on Jimmys Beach along The Boulevarde.

This beach section has ‘dogs prohibited’ signage along the road but unfortunately people do not take any notice.

Lately Jimmys Beach along The Boulevarde has become a dog’s paradise – with dogs on and off leashes.

On any sunny weekend there will be dozens of dogs throughout the day on the beach and in the water.

Some owners do not bother to pick up their dog droppings.

If you try to say something you will get an angry response or “I am a local and I can do it because I have been doing this all the time”.

Really?

Where is the council ranger to enforce the rule with penalties?

It may be a good idea to put signage on the beach at the high water mark.

Waiting on a response from Council.

Regards,
Michael JANCZAK.
