Dear Hampton City Council Members,

I request that you amend the city ordinance which currently prohibits dogs on the boardwalk and beach from May 15 – September 15. I am in favor of authorizing leashed dogs under control of their owner on the boardwalk/beach from 6:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. and from 6:00 p.m. – sunset from May 15 – September 15. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
