It's been a weekend full of incidents so far.
Serious injury, multiple call outs to the fire service for preventable fires, litter everywhere and people camping on the beach - despite explicit messages not to stay overnight.
It's led to fire crews and local politicians are pleading for help from local MPs.
@ConorBurnsUK @RobertSyms @Tobias_Ellwood Why, as a County, are we as allowing this? Yesterday put huge strain on all our emergency services. Please help us! https://t.co/0cT46Vxkam

Durdle Door remains closed today - and possibly for longer - and there are calls for neighbouring BCP Council to consider doing the same.
We'd like to see your examples of some of the bad behaviour this weekend.
Here's some examples of what some of our readers have spotted so far.
This was taken at 8am this morning on Southbourne Overcliff.
That doesn't seem at all safe. Can we use this picture please?

This picture from @RRpromotionsUK was taken at 5.45am this morning.
@BCPCouncil @dorsetpolice @dorset_eye @Dorsetecho @TravelDorset @Bournemouthecho @piersmorgan just back from my morning swim 5.45am. Since when is it allowed to camp down the #beach no toilets open! So much #rubbish along the beach! #ironic #StayAtHomeSaveLives #toobusygohome pic.twitter.com/u50jzwSpU1

Oh the irony. Toilet rolls thrown out with the rubbish. How times change.
