My kids have been frightened, to tears on one occasion, by boisterous, friendly dogs coming up to them. It's not a big deal, but I think a voluntary agreement to keeps dogs on a leash in the central part of the beach would be a good thing, as a trial at least.</p> <p>Ironically, I don't think shit on the beach is a major issue, it's nothing like as bad as it is on the streets and pavements around Porty.</p> <p>I see the nonsense on the EEN comments is as bad as ever. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12541#post-148285 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:40:59 +0000 kaputnik 148285@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>But leashless dogs have always been above tax-paying cyclists in the grand pecking order of shared path users. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12541#post-148278 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 12:56:07 +0000 chdot 148278@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wot the EN has a typo (wonder if it was copied from Lesley's email!)</p> <p>"but they have to be careful"</p> <p>Yep, that's all 'we' ask - 'responsible use'</p> <p>Dog owners too. </p> <p>Motorists one day (maybe). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12541#post-148277 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 12:50:36 +0000 cb 148277@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> The city council’s environment convener Lesley Hinds said: “Its a bit like the issue of cycling on the prom where we were able to discuss it and come up with a solution where peoplle are allowed to cycle, but they have to be careful.”<br /> " </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12541#post-148271 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 12:35:35 +0000 wingpig 148271@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Small zone thereof.
