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!

    All 20 found to south of Gravel Pit.

    All 20 found to south of Gravel Pit on Sunday 28th June in the morning. Herding and looking well.

    3 children (approx age 10 years) chased the herd. They were on their own with no parents to be seen. I had a quiet word with them and asked them not to do it again and explained why the cows were on the common. They promised that they would not chase them in future.

    No signs of damage to fences or of motorbikes.

      Alister! Wow, nice blog mate.

      I'm afraid to say you are now the second looker that has noted this kind of behaviour.. And both of you (Jill this includes you) have our thanks for stepping in the way that you did, much appreciated. This kind of abuse needs to be noted on our incident form as evidence so it really is important to report this. Its such a shame that it's happening, but I'm hoping these are 'teething' issues. Only time till tell. I will let the appropriate authorities know.
