Dogs should be kept on leads near livestock, such as the military canal at Pett, and there should be designated dog free areas on beaches with a warden on patrol to ensure this happens.
Equally, there should be areas where dogs can run free, but the choice would enable us all to enjoy the beautiful countryside and sea.

Responsible dog owners bin it, some irresponsible ones even toss it into trees.
