Dog walkers face fines for taking pets on Lytham St Annes beach

A dog exclusion zone has come back into effect on the amenity beach in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire.

Dogs are not permitted on the amenity beach, which is located between the slipway for St Annes Lifeboat Station and the northern end of North Promenade car park, until 30 September or risk getting a £100 fine.

Councillor Roger Small, Chair of the Operational Management Committee, said: “Dogs need to exercise off a lead in open spaces for their wellbeing which the council fully endorses and therefore has ensured there is access to public areas and open spaces all year round.

“The restrictions on the amenity beach are on a limited space for the busy summer season and in place to protect pets and people.”
