Around a dozen people staged a peaceful protest in Douglas this morning (Saturday) to make their voice heard on bye-laws restricting dogs from parks and squares in the capital.

The people turned up with their dogs and stood outside Woodburne Square.

They were trying to overturn the ruling imposed by Douglas Corporation.

Currently dogs can be exercised in a designated area of Noble's Park, or at certain times on Douglas beach.

This protester says he wanted to come down to show his support.
