Dogs running free will be treated as strays and seized by the Dog Wardens or Police. The Council will continue to collect household refuse from farms and other rural areas but only from farm gates and at the end of farm tracks. Residents are asked to store refuse in suitable bags and containers to prevent vermin and other animals gaining access to it. This will also assist in the prevention of spread of the virus. Thursden Valley Picnic site is closed.
Footpaths leading onto farmland are closed.
Do not visit farms unless your visit is essential. Keep away from grazing livestock. If you have to visit a farm, help the farmer by observing the disinfectant procedures that are in place and leave your vehicle on the public road. These should not be driven onto premises unless advised by the owner. Suitable disinfectant should be provided at the premises concerned.
