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!

    Note about life buoy throwlines

    Hi all, aware this is a little late for todays check, apologies, but just to say I got a call today that one of the cows (228) was eating the throwlines attached to one of the life buoys by Horse pond (the smaller of the ponds). He won't be able to chew through it properly, but if possible, when you come across one of those buoyancy aids please make sure the throwline is put away - not so hidden that it can't be quickly accessed and used in an emergency, but at least not spooling out on the ground

    It might be worth keeping a bit of an eye on him over the next couple of days as well, just incase he did manage to knaw through a piece of it.

    Thanks!
