Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

  1. Call the office on 01256 381190.
  2. If no one answers, wait for the answering message which will detail the name and mobile number of the member of staff who is currently on call.
  3. Phone the on-call member of staff who will then respond accordingly.

NOTES:

  • Please do not phone a member of staff directly unless you know they are on-call.

  • If you are unsure if a particular situation qualifies as an emergency then please phone the on-call member of staff anyway so that they can make the decision on how to proceed.

  • Most importantly of all – please do not report injuries or sick animals via the blog alone – always call the emergency on-call contact.


    Thank you!

    Long bottom cows

    Found 16 (one wearing collar) at Long Bottom. Some were laid down but they all moved off when I approached from the truck. Last seen heading east. they lloked well, with some holding their tails hgh when they moved off, not sure what this means but probably posturing behaviour typical of young cows!

    I patched the barb wire in two places along Sandy Hill and spotted a break at the A287 roundabout on my way back to the office. I think lanmarc's machinery has caught the fence while cutting the fire break so really they should be the ones to fix it. If anyone gets the chance, please could you check p25 - M31 (heath end) and F17 - T3 (Bourley Road - Beacon Hill) and let me know of any other cuts? I'll pass the deatils to Pierro. In two weeks time Landmarc are employing contactors to replace the heavily patched fencing at the gates so it would help to get the whole lot checked and fixed (this is in addition to the grazing Project weekely 'hotspot' checks of the often cut areas).
