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!

    Mon 29th Nov Only 228 and 235 not seen

     We saw 940 alone on Sandy Hill, then saw him off down the path by the pill box so followed but he disappeared. There was rustling in the gorse and holly so we made our way in and found 9 more. When we crawled out again we saw 072 was with them but no 940. Further along Sandy Hill we saw the grey again with 4 youngsters as if he had gone to round them up. The group gathered where we first saw 940 /// spun.shook.task. So 228 & 235 not seen. Stay Safe, Marina & Des
