HAVING counted at least 53 dogs on and around the beach I then had to dodge 15, yes 15 piles of dog faeces between Whitmore and Jacksons bay.

Do these irresponsible dog owners know that dogs can carry at least 11 diseases that can be passed on to humans.

How many children and adults will go home tonight with dog faeces on their shoes and carry it into their homes?

Please do not let these lazy dog owners get away with it. We need a permanent dog warden around Barry Island to catch them out.

And please, please Barry councillors do not let dogs on the beach during the summer months.
