Emergency Procedure

If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure:

Call the office on 01256 381190.
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.
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!

3 contented cows, chewing the cud, canal side in the shade. All looking fine.

Happy munching right round by the canal, looking very healthy

Apologies, I am unable to check the girls on Friday, (26th June).

All 3 heeding the weather warnings, found shade along the canal. Lying down chewing the cud.

They had positioned themselves by the gate to ford this morning all looking good and moving well

All three grazing in the clearing near the canal. Only seen them from the towpath but all looking happy despite the heat.

All 3 spotted canal side. All eating and moving around confidently. Looking good!
