Island residents can attend any one of three events later this month where Isle of Wight Council's dog wardens will be offering a reduced rate for dog micro-chipping at just £10.

'Dog chipping' is available on Saturday 27 March between 1030 - 1200 at Cowes Community Club on Park Road.

Cyclists can also get their bicycles 'wrapped' - where a security-mark is placed on the frame. Isle of Wight Council Environment and Neighbourhood Officers will offer this service free of charge throughout the day.

Isle of Wight Council is a member of the Isle of Wight Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership which has organised the day. For more information residents can call (01983) 550980
