I don't know why signs have been erected along the Promenade telling owners who don't leash their dogs that they will be fined $300. What has prompted this?

There is a community of dog walkers who often stop to chat while their dogs mill around freely and cause no trouble.

The Promenade is shared by walkers of varying speeds; cyclists of varying speeds so why not unleashed dogs of varying speeds? Some dogs enjoy running along the wall itself. Is that also out of bounds?

I've lived and owned dogs in Eastbourne for 26 years and can't understand why there is suddenly a problem when none previously existed.
