The council have been struggling with their own Dog Control Orders since they first introduced them.

We had the long running saga of the signs at Appley Ryde, first they said they were correct, then they admitted they were wrong, then we went back to them claiming they were correct again and they started putting more of them up until finally they had to once again admit they were wrong. Then we had their total confusion over Saint Helens.

Tonight I was checking out their beach ban maps of Ryde and the area shown in yellow which represents the beach ban area on the western side of the pier at Ryde bares no relation to the actual beach ban, which is one hundred metres sea-wards from the sea-wall. "The beach from the Eastern edge of St. Thomas Slip Way to Ryde Pier for a distance of 100 meters out from the sea wall"

Quite how they can expect residents let alone visitors to understand the rules if they themselves are baffled by them is beyond us.
