Background information: Public Spaces Protection Orders, or PSPOs, allow the Isle of Wight Council to continue protecting the Island's beaches and public spaces for locals and visitors to enjoy.

The previous orders expired in June and now residents, businesses, and stakeholders are being invited to share their views on whether certain rules around dogs in public spaces should be reintroduced.

No changes are being proposed.

The consultation asks questions on a variety of dog control related issues. Feedback from the consultation will help to shape and inform whether the council reintroduces a dog control PSPO.

They cover a range of dog control orders and full details can be found on the council's website. Orders include:

• requiring owners to pick up after their dog in public areas, such as parks and open spaces
• excluding dogs from selected beaches between 1 May and 30 September (the majority of Island beaches welcome dogs all year round)
• requiring dogs to be on a lead in Island cemeteries
• restricting dogs from fenced children's play areas

After the consultation all the comments made will be considered before any decision is made.

The final decision to agree the new order, with any changes included, will be made by the council's cabinet in November 2024
