The Isle of Wight Council proposes to make a Dog Control Order under section 55 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 amending the areas of beaches that dogs are prohibited from entering during the period of 1st May to 30th September each year. This order would revoke the existing order.

The order increases and decreases the areas to which dogs will not be permitted during 1st May to 30th September.

The beaches to which this order will apply are shown on maps that would be annexed to the order. During this consultation period anyone wishing to inspect the proposed Order and annexed maps may do so free of charge in office hours at County Hall, High Street, Newport, Isle of Wight, all libraries, Help Centres or online at the Council’s website www.iwight.com/dogorders

Comments and views on the proposed Dog Control Order should be sent to Community Safety Services, Charter House, 14 St Thomas’s Square, Newport, Isle of Wight, PO30 1SL or community.support@iow.gov.uk.

Representation should be received no later than 18th December 2009.
