Should Dogs be banned in certain areas on Island? 

Garff Commissioners is looking for residents views on a set of new dog by-laws.

The local authority says there are ‘provisions’ to exclude dogs from school grounds, the Laxey Football Club pitch and all play areas around the parish.

Other restrictions could include Dhoon Arboretum, The Corony and Cronk Cardle Estate, and Maughold Village.

Any new bye-laws will be put before Tynwald.

A copy of the draft legislation can be found on the commissioners website and residents have until noon on 20 April to submit their views.
