Irresponsible dog owners are to blame for a decision to keep a ban on pooches in a park in Ramsey.
Ramsey Commissioners asked residents if dogs should be allowed in Mooragh Park - and a slight majority of people were in favour.
But the local authority says it will keep its ban in place, because of the risk to children from fouling.
Board member Juan McGuinness said 500 people got in touch with their views:
Repairs on Peel Power Station to get underway
Manx Care doctor survey to be discussed by Tynwald

MHK queries safety at primary school in Ballabeg
