Morley man fined over Scarborough beach dog ban offences
A MORLEY man has been fined for dog ban offences and dog fouling on Scarborough’s North Bay beach.
Following investigations by Scarborough Borough Council’s dog warden service, Carl Davey, of Beacon Avenue, appeared at the resort’s magistrates’ court last Friday.
He was charged with contravening the seasonal dog exclusion orders at the popular beach.
He also pleaded guilty to failing to clean up after his dog on the same beach.
Davey pleaded guilty to charges of taking a dog on to North Bay beach within the dog exclusion area and failing to pick up dog waste on May 6.
He was fined £50 on the first charge, no separate penalty on the second, a victim surcharge of £15 and £100 costs.
He was ordered to pay in full within seven days.
Graham Hibberd, the council’s senior dog warden, said: “The dog warden service is committed to investigating all cases relating to dog offences and will continue to vigorously enforce dog control legislation to ensure that the whole borough is a clean and safe place for residents and visitors.
“The majority of dog owners are responsible and I am sure that they would support action against the irresponsible minority who fail to pick up faeces left by dogs in public places, which is not only unpleasant but can also transmit disease to other dogs and humans.”
