The Swanage & Purbeck Hospitality Association (www.VisitSwanage.com) is fully behind the initiative backed by support from the Local Chamber of Trade as well as The Licensed Victuallers Association, to adopt a Euro Friendly approach.
Swanage Beach
Helping to persuade our European Neighbours to visit the stunning and beautiful Swanage & Isle of Purbeck coastline at the gateway of the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, many will be familiar with Swanage for school trips or the occasional day out, whilst visiting neighbouring Poole and Bournemouth.
Renowned for its safe sandy beaches and working steam railway, Swanage is a delightful hideaway only 2 ½ hours from London. However a revolution is brewing as this beautiful area of Dorset embraces and welcomes the increased number of overseas visitors, attracted to the UK by favourable exchange rates and value for money…
Many local businesses in the area now accept Euros (and indeed US Dollars) in payment for goods and services, minimising any inconvenience of currency exchange for our most welcome visitors.

Julian Maughan Vice Chair of the Swanage & Purbeck hospitality association says:
“By adopting an approach of minimum fuss for our Overseas Visitors we hope that their visit will be even more pleasurable.if that were possible. the local Trade & Chamber of Commerce along with the Licensed Victuallers Association welcomes the initiative and is confident that members will embrace the approach. Goods and Services can be paid for at the point of sale in Euros at the appropriate daily exchange rate, and it is envisioned that Members offering the scheme will display stickers to that effect very soon”.

I drove through Swannage yesterday and thought “Wow, what a fabulous beach!”
How sad then to find not even a tiny strip had been allocated for visitors with well behaved dogs..
Surely a small area would be possible?
I drove on and in fact ended up in Devon spending my money there, because they at least allow dogs on some beaches….

Dog’s mess is unacceptable. Many owners only pick up to then hang the bag in hedgerows and trees taking much longer to rot than if the ofending muck were left on the ground to the rain.
On beaches it should be outlawed to let dogs run off the lead, so owners can watch where they defecate.

As said above, all dogs should be on leads on beaches so that owners can check where they defecate and remove the muck. This should not then be hung up in hedgerows and on trees, taking much longer to rot than if it were left on the ground for the rain to wash away. The dog-mess bags seen everywhere are hung up just like Tibetan prayer flags, but much smellier.
