I’d also add that the headland from which dog owners are restricted (by being asked to keep their dogs on a lead) is predominantly agricultural land.

I led a guided walk on Sunday morning on ‘common land’ but had to spend an hour beforehand dispensing with masses of dog mess. if you feel disgusted that dogs and their owners are ‘banned’ from beaches and restricted from headlands, might I suggest some serious dialogue with the island’s irresponsible dog owners – of which there are many. Do, please, look at the bigger picture here!

There should also be enough room left for people to walk their dogs on an extendable lead without fear of either the dog the owner or both being electricuted. Why not put a proper fence that stops dogs getting in. As a dog owner I am disgusted at the way we are banned from the beaches and banned or restricted on the headland. This because some bright spark decides that we can have sheep there. Put the sheep on a farm somewhere not on Common Land that has been enjoyed by walkers for years.

Difficult to know how whoever the dog owner is manages to live peacefully with their thoughts.
Commiserations Aaron.
