No cows seen today but we did find a section of fence down. Reported, via text, to the no. given on the recorded message at the office. No reply so we don't know if anybody got it. Photos show damage and our efforts at a repair. The gate has a chain and lock and is between the last visible gate from Sandy Hill road and the Shell garage. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Hi Marina,
ReplyDeleteThanks for reporting the fence breakage, that is appreciated.
Unfortunately we didn't receive the text message. Although this particular incident wasn't a serious emergency, it is ideal to call in rather than leave a text so that the message can be relayed to a staff member asap and we can then respond immediately.
I know this can be tricky at times particularly if you're in a rush or have limited signal, but it is the best way to ensure that we can respond to emergencies as soon as possible.
Thanks for reporting it via the blog as well though as we picked up the issue from here and Ian has been out and fixed the breakage.
All the best
Rich.
