A hotelier says he's had enough of spending £1,000 per week clearing tons of sand away from the terrace of his hotel and has now accused his local council of failing to take action.
John Butterworth, who runs the beachside Sandbanks Hotel in Poole, Dorset, says the issue has gotten to the stage where there's now almost no distinction between where the hotel wall and the beach meet, with dogs said to be able to jump between the two with ease.
Staff members claim people have previously told them, "you're on a beach, deal with it", but they feel the council should bear some responsibility when it comes to keeping the terrace maintained.
