POOCH power has forced Brean Theme Park owners to reverse a decision to ban dogs from the popular attraction, the Weekly News can reveal.

Security staff had been prohibiting people from bringing their dogs onto the premises after the new managers decided that they didn’t want dogs in the park.

Signs were then put up in March enforcing the ban. However, the move prompted angry dog owners to complain to the park’s management team who have since made a U-turn on their unpopular decision.

Weekly News reader Anna Mozol, who has been visiting the park with her German Spitz Sam for 20 years, went there earlier this month and was confronted by security staff who told her that she would have to leave.

“I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I’ve been taking Sam for walks through the fairground for years and now they’ve told me I can’t.

It’s ruined the park for me and Sam.”

Anna said that after she found herself outside the park gates among other angry dog owners and their four-legged friends who had also been ejected.

She said: “There was group of us outside the gates and everyone was angry. “They’d all come out for the day to the park but were then told that they couldn’t go in with the dogs. It’s always been somewhere for families to go and spend the day and dogs are a part of the family.”

The theme park is a popular destination for many visitors from outside the area and concerns were also raised about dogs being left in cars during the summer heat if the ban remained in place. However, a spokesperson for the park told the Weekly News that the dog ban had been lifted a number of weeks ago and the park was in the process of taking the signs down.

He said: “The ban was lifted at Easter and dogs are now welcome in Brean Theme Park.

“We are now in the process of removing the signs.”
