Public response to dog ban proposal at Co Antrim beauty spot is conclusive

Almost 100% of the public who responded to a consultation over proposals to ban family dogs at a Co Antrim beauty spot, have opposed the plan.

Just four people - 2.5% of respondents - backed new dog ban legislation concerning a public coastal walk between Ballintoy and Whitepark Bay.

And 150 others - 97.5% - sent Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council letters of objection, firmly stating their position, many of them calling for alternatives such as fencing or tighter rules on dogs being permitted in the area if they are on leads.
