A Tenby councillor has called for more dog sign provision to be installed across the resort's beaches. Speaking at Tuesday night's meeting of the town council, Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown said that lots of locals and visitors had commented to her over the summer that there weren't enough signs on the beaches pointing out where you could and couldn't take your dog during the beach ban which runs from the start of May through to the end of September. "The North Beach has good signage, but the South and Castle beaches don't. We need to be more descriptive about what we're doing and think about different signage," she remarked. Clr. Mrs. Brown also said that she didn't have a problem with making the whole of the South Beach dog friendly throughout the summer, and also asked if the beach ban could be reduced by a month and start in June, as the beaches were still quiet during May. Her colleague, Clr. Will Rossiter, agreed that signage needed to be clearer, especially on Castle Beach. Clr. Mike Evans said that this was like "groundhog day" all over again, as they had had a meeting the previous year with Pembrokeshire County Council beach warden Myrddin Dennis and were told that more signage would be in place for this summer. "We were assured that it would all be done, but it sounds like the signs haven't gone up," he remarked. He also warned that the beach bans for dogs were in place during the current dates to co-ordinate with the Blue Flag status of the beaches. Mayor, Clr. Mrs. Sue Lane, said that she had seen examples of humorous signs encouraging people to clean up after their dogs which she felt could be brought in. "One was a banner type sign which you could put your dog's head through to take a photo of, which I think would be a bit of fun and also get the message across, while others carried slogans like 'scoop the poop' and 'save our water', which we could take ideas from," she said. Meanwhile, the town clerk, Mr. Andrew Davies, told councillors that the 'doggy bags' were still going out twice a week, when the dispensers around the town were empty, but that they seemed to be emptied less frequently now, following reports that people were taking too many at a time. He also revealed that he'd received correspondence from a member of the public who had been in touch with one of the county council's dog wardens in relation to a "well known business person" in the town who was failing to pick up after their pet. "This person emailed the dog warden service with photographic evidence and as a result the offender has been issued with a warning by the dog warden and told that they will be subject to a £75 fine should they not clean up after their dog the next time, so it shows that members of the public do have the power to report these kind of incidents," said Mr. Davies.
