I RECENTLY read a letter in the Daily Echo regarding a call for dog-free beaches.

I am also sick and tired of dogs. Poole area is just inundated with them.

At Hamworthy beach (that’s when you have made it along Branksea Road), I just won’t let my granddaughter play on the beach, or the grass area.

The same goes for the beach from Poole Quay to Whitecliff – and Branksome Chine is just as bad.

Then there’s Seldown Bridge pavement. Oh, and try walking over the cliff from Hamworthy to Rockley Park.

The problem is increasing at Upton Park. Owners everywhere should be made to keep their dogs on the lead.
