Final warning to dog owners to pick up mess

Fri, 02 Apr 2021


Manx National Heritage has raised concerns over the continuing abuse of one of the historic environments in its care, Fort Island.

The island is the site of several very important ancient monuments including an early mediaeval church and associated graveyard.

It is also the home of several significant species of wildlife including breeding seals and seabirds.

Despite previous appeals to the dog owners in the community to keep dogs under control and to pick up after them, they are once again receiving reports from members of the public of considerable amounts of dog excrement

MNH as owners and guardians of this historic site have legal powers under their byelaws to impose fines, restrict access and prosecute offenders who break the byelaws which include not having a dog under effective control and leaving dog excrement on the site. 

MNH now feel they have no choice but to issue a final warning to dog owners to clean up their act or risk being banned altogether from the Fort Island site.
