Ban dogs from cemeteries and parks but NOT FROM BEACHES. Keep the seasonal restrictions.

This is totally unacceptable. The current rules need to be enforced, stop targeting responsible dog owners and walkers.

I think it is unfair to make these changes and penalise responsible dog owners and dogs, instead why not employ a dog warden and fine people who don't pick up or who are not responsible for their dogs

If you bring this into force then ourselves, and many, many more people will stop coming to the Island and go elsewhere we have been over 3 times this year so far with another stay booked for December bringing a lot of revenue to the Island.

Ridiculous. The IOW is loved for being dog friendly. Can't believe this is seriously being considered.

We visit every year for the single reason that we can enjoy the beaches with our dog, If the dog can't enjoy the holiday we won't be visiting.

I own a dog, iv always picked up after her. I couldn’t imagine not being able to walk her on the beach I’m winter. I also feel it would harm the tourist industry. We would no longer be regarded as a dog friendly holiday spot

As long as you clean up after your dog, which most responsible dog owners do, I don't see a problem
