Popular Turn Out At Ventnor Event
Nov 5th, 2009 | By Simon Butler | Isle of Wight News From The Island PulseA day of community safety related activities in Ventnor has proved very popular with residents in the town.
On Saturday 31st October at Ventnor Winter Gardens, Isle of Wight Council dog wardens offered reduced-rate micro chipping for dogs at a cost of just £5.
During the day, 20 dogs were micro chipped which made the event one of the most popular the council’s dog wardens have ever hosted. In addition the IOW Dog Training Society offered free pet obedience training demonstrations.
Also during the day, IW Council Environment and Neighbourhoods officers (ENOs) offered free security marking of bicycles, as part of the Bike Safe project.
Six owners had their bikes ‘wrapped’ during the day, while the ENOs also handed out free shed alarms, bicycle lights and energy efficient light bulbs to visitors.
The day of activities were organised by the Isle of Wight Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership, of which IW Council, IW NHS and Hampshire Constabulary are lead partners.
Isle of Wight Council is currently holding a public consultation until 18 December for its proposed new Dog Exclusion Order. This proposes to amend the areas of beaches that dogs are prohibited from entering during the period of 1 May to 30 September each year and would replace the existing order.
If anyone would like to view the consultation document and make any comments, they can do so at any library or help centre, at County Hall in Newport, or online at www.iwight.com/dogorders/
