But pet owners have shared their distaste for the rule and have lashed out at the authorities over the ban.

Anna Maria Mc added: "Dogs on leads cleaner than most folk , remember lockdown and the state of the beaches." Em Peel-Rice said: "The majority of dogs are cleaner than people, at least they won't leave (or in some cases even bury) a load of food packaging on the sand."

Christopher Pickup said: "Us, humans are worse for rubbish & waste, dirty nappies, used condoms and sewage covering Scarborough beaches. They are the worst in the U.K."

Sue Nicholson said: "This is one reason I don't go over to the east coast although I do love Whitby. I stick to the very North of Cumbria and take my dogs to Allonby beach. Very quiet, the tide goes out for miles. Very dog friendly and I have never come across a pile of doggy do do yet. Every single coat pocket is full of poo bags and I use them every time to clean up after my little pack. You can keep Scarborough."

beplay官网手机登陆伊恩·海斯补充道:“我在这个国家其他地方s becoming more and more dog friendly not only on beaches but in shops and restaurants, look at the Lake District dogs are welcome everywhere and because of this people visit in large numbers. North Yorks are the most unwelcoming people for dogs in shops and places to eat and on top of that most of their beaches.

"Strangely it’s alright to dump thousands of tonnes of human sewage into the water just of the beach which comes straight back in. At least dog owners pick their dogs poo up. We should vote with our feet and not go there and let the takings go down."

"It’s humans that mess beaches up not animals," Elizabeth Irwin said. Meanwhile Tanny Lashy said: "I don't own any dogs but I do feel there should be a rule on keeping dogs on leads while on the beach." Elain Magrath added: "Should be like that everywhere."
