VOTE: Should dogs be allowed on our beaches?

The summer restrictions on taking dogs on some of the beaches along the Yorkshire coast have come to an end for this year.

There are dog bans in place on the main sections of beach at Scarborough South Bay and North Bay, Filey, Whitby West Cliff and Sandsend, as well as in Bridlington.

So we are asking if four-legged friends should be allowed on the sands all year round, not at all, or if the current situation is the fairest. Let us know by voting in this poll.
