Cllr Glenn Haffenden, the Hastings BC deputy leader, has confirmed that dog controls on the beaches in Hastings will switch to the summer restrictions from Tuesday 1 April. The new controls will remain in place until Tuesday 30 September.

Under the new controls, dogs will not be allowed on the beach from the west of the Harbour Arm to the east side of Hastings Pier and from the west end of Bottle Alley to opposite the Royal Victoria Hotel. Anyone not following the restrictions could face a fine of up to £1,000. 

Cllr Haffenden said the restrictions were intended to balance the need for both dog-friendly and dog-free spaces and to ensure that all residents and visitors can enjoy the beach over the busy summer period.
