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!

    Only 2 left

    Hello
    The farmer has taken them all off except the cow and calf.
    They need to be tested for TB, and he should have taken them all off yesterday but the calf escaped over a fence and could not be rounded up. We reunited the calf with its mother this morning.
    So, only cow and calf left. We will try again next week.
    Thanks

    Hello all,

    I visited the site yesterday and drove around for an hour with no site or sound of any cattle. I did however hear a woodlark singing up in square K18 which was a lovely sound to hear this early in spring, may we all hear this more in the next few weeks to come
