Wrong impression

Letters published in the 13 February 2006 edition of Peninsula News give the impression that the majority of people who walk their dogs on Umina Beach do so without regard to others and without regard to the rules with respect to designated off-leash areas.

In all areas of life, there are some people who do not do the right thing.

This is no exception.

However by way of fair balance, it should be pointed out that are also a great number of people who enjoy the privilege of exercising their dogs on the beach every day while avoiding flagged and other designated dog-free areas.

Generally, they do their best to ensure other people are not disturbed and that the beach remains clean.

I do however add my weight to other correspondents in that the Council does show a remarkable reluctance to provide adequate signage.

For instance, if one enters at the very south end of the beach, an off-leash area, there is no sign on the beach indicating when the limit of the off-leash area has been reached.
