Outrageous! We love our beach dog walks & always clean up after our dog. Whereas people on the other hand, leave the beaches in a right state!

Being dog friendly is an attraction of the island for holiday makers and residents.

As an owner of a beach side business this will have a major detrimental effect on local beach side businesses to sustain winter periods.

These facilities give pleasure to thousands of dog owners around the island... They are rates payers too!

This Island needs to be dog friendly! Draconian laws against dogs and their owners will seriously impact upon the tourist trade!

Unbelievable, my dogs accompany me everyday. They are well behaved and i am a responsible dog owner like most others. A dog is apart of your family and is included in what you do & where you go .... how can this even be considered!

By doing this you would stop animal lovers coming to the island and using b&b etc and shops will lose profits and have to close down

It’s humans that need banning all the plastic and rubbish they leave behind on our beaches.

Iow council should refrain from bringing this ban in businesses across the island would suffer the consequences should dog owners stop visiting.

How ridiculous, what on earth is the rationale behind this.

This will impact severely on tourism as well as older people who rely on dogs for combatting lonliness. Dog walking generally involves social networks, people keeping fit and helping to combate mental distress.

This would have such a negative impact for tourism & our local society it seriously can’t go ahead!!!

Please don't penalise responsible dog owners or their dogs, instead employ a dog warden to fine irresponsible owners

I moved to the IOW because it was so dog friendly. This will ruin the island for me, and I’m sure for many other dog owners!
