I SEE the Supplieds have been at it again (GP Open Lines 21 August). Could I ask where they get their statistics from? 1,094 dog ban breaches in May, June and July is a very specific number but I can’t locate the States report on this particular survey. Am I then to assume that Mr and Mrs S have been sitting at the top of the slipway with a notebook, 24 hours a day for three months? I do hope so (it seems a suitably sad thing for them to do) but I deduce that they have in fact employed a webcam to do their stalking for them. Are they aware of the provisions of the Guernsey Data Protection Act 2017? Do they have permission from each individual to capture their images on film? Have they inadvertently filmed infants and young people without their knowledge? Should we be pointing the data commissioner in their direction to collect her £50 registration fee? Or (more likely) have they simply made the number up?
Until the end of September, dogs will be banned from certain beaches in Guernsey and people in Jersey will have to keep them on the lead between certain hours.
