FI15576
Request
Please can you reply with information on any by-laws or regulations that currently exist (or ones which have lapsed or been rescinded) which regulate (for reasons of safety of swimmers and of marine wildlife) the use of vehicles such as jet-skis in the coastal waters of Dover district.
If use of such vehicles is allowed in some coastal waters and not in others, please provide information (map or plan) about where it is / isn't allowed. Is it correct that such vehicles may only be launched from official designated locations ? If so could you include a list of where such locations may be. I attach details of action taken by Southend DC in 2022 and seek to discover if similar regulations exist in our district.
Response
The information you have sought is available on the Council’s website at https://www.dover.gov.uk/Environment/Coast--Rivers/Personal-Water-Craft.aspx.
