Combe Martin Parish Council

Please help us to improve our bathing water quality by respecting the dog ban. (The pollution incidents which lead to us losing our "Good" quality were mostly dog waste related.) This year we have two full time members of staff with delegated powers from NDC to enforce the dog ban. They have access to Fixed Penalty Notice (£100) and to Community Protection Warnings/Notices (£2500), none of this goes to the Parish Council so we have no financial incentive to issue them, please don't make us.
The dog ban (1st May - 30th September) covers all of the area highlighted on the map, so as well as the beach, it includes the rocks, the rock pools, the cliffs and the concrete "path".

In answer to those people asking about the lights on Seaside Hill, we have taken down the flag that was wrapped around, and broke, the cable and will be trying to get a replacement section up before Christmas.
