Wyre's Seasonal Dog Ban on Bathing Beaches in place starting this week: Important Information for Dog Owners`

From Thursday 1 May, Wyre's seasonal dog ban on bathing beaches will be in effect until Tuesday 30 September.

While we welcome the presence of your four-legged friends in our beautiful outdoor spaces, we must ensure our bathing beaches remain dog-free during this period. There are signs and flags to help you identify where the restricted areas are.

Affected Areas:

Cleveleys Beach: From FBKafe (or Naimos for our Star Wars fans) to the Wyre/Blackpool boundary.

Marine Beach in Fleetwood: Opposite the beach huts near the slipway to Central car park.

There is still plenty of beach areas that you can enjoy with your dogs and the restrictions do not include the promenade, although all dogs on the prom must be on a lead.

Dog fouling will not be tolerated anywhere in the borough. Please respect our great outdoors and avoid fines by adhering to dog control orders. Disregarding these orders can result in a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) of £100. We appreciate the co-operation and understanding of dog owners in helping us maintain clean and safe beaches for everyone. Your efforts make a significant difference in preserving the beauty of Wyre's outdoor spaces.

Mark Billington Director of Environment states, "We are grateful to our community of responsible dog owners who help us keep our beaches clean and safe for all visitors. Your co-operation is essential in maintaining the high standards of our beautiful coastal areas."
