At last, having been into Brighton and Dover with the dog its ridiculous to not be allowed into Ramsgate.

Oops! I took my dog to Ramsgate last year, twice, and they didn't have an issue anyway. In fact, I rang the lovely Harbour Authority people first to check, and they said 'technicaly' not allowed, but just keep your dog on a lead and you'll be absolutely fine. In fact, I think they even used the word "welcome". Lovely people

That's an old story from 2010. The byelaw was repealed early 2011. Extract from the byelaws below

Further to Thanet District Council’s decision to remove Byelaw 44 there is a requirement to give notice to the Government of their intentions. In this interim period customers are being permitted to bring their pets to Ramsgate, providing that, the animal has come from a UK port of departure.
Should a customer wish to bring a pet from mainland Europe they make use of the ‘Pet Passport’ scheme. The nearest point of entry for this is via ferry operations at Dover port.
Customers are reminded that animals must be kept on a lead and fouling of any area will not be tolerated.

Wasn't Byron's 'Dog' made a member of the Royal Temple as crew?

Sorry, my mistake - I did not notice how old the secondary reference to the earlier BBC report was.
