| Let's get chasing! Hound in pursuit on central beach |
A SEASONAL by-law designed to prevent Cleethorpes beach-users of nervous disposition from being pestered by dogs was today being widely flouted.
The summer ban which started on Good Friday is also aimed both at reducing fouling of the sands and disturbance to shorebirds, such as knot, dunlin and oystercatchers, which feed near the tideline.
But canines - sometimes up to 20 at a time - were conspicuous on central beach throughout Easter Sunday.
If apprehended, dog-owners who disregard the ban face the prospect of a substantial fixed penalty fine, but, at least today, this was not proving the slightest deterrent.

The sign couldn't be clearer . . .

| Either the dog or its owner didn't heed the message |
