Hello Richard
With the national regulations coming into force the Trust have applied for a partial surrender of their consent essentially removing all the conditions relating to the discharge of brodifacoum. This has been accepted by the Council.
A copy of the acceptance is attached for your information. You will note in appendix B the Trust have some requirements to meet to be permitted under this regulation and we will be monitoring for compliance with these standards.
Cheers
Mandy.
What this means is:
- No need to notify public or neighbours.
- Don't need fence wof.
- No bigger zones or people to pick up poison dropped outside.
- No requirement to minimise bykill.
However, the fence does need to be approved by council. This is where council can actually now stop the drop. By confirming the fence is insecure it can refuse permission.
We need to impress on council that they now have the ability to say yay or nay. They must stay nay.

Hi, has anyone treated their cat successfully for Milliary Dermatitis, our cat is all scabby and she's constantly scratching. I phoned the vet but she said that pretty much all cats have it and there's nothing to be done ☹️ She's been wormed and de fleed and that makes no … View moreHi, has anyone treated their cat successfully for Milliary Dermatitis, our cat is all scabby and she's constantly scratching. I phoned the vet but she said that pretty much all cats have it and there's nothing to be done ☹️ She's been wormed and de fleed and that makes no difference. Also, I've put her on a dry food only diet 'purina' salmon, because chicken and beef can apparently cause allergies. Please don't suggest I bathing her, she just will not allow it!!!
Anyone interested in 2 sister goats? 1 year old. From a herd of quality milk producers. Saanen x. Bottle fed, used to human contact. They are as tame as any other pet you might have at home. However, they do eat anything - grass, leaves, gorse, blackberry, veggies...

This stuff is extremely toxic and was NEVER meant to be used in anything other than a bait station! Note on page 2 that "bait should be prevented from entering streams or waterways". Also on page 2 re loading bait. This will be happening in Brook Street just across the load from homes - how will these residents (and their pets) be protected from dust? Page 3 discusses secondary poisoning - this will affect domestic cats (if they eat a non-mortally poisoned bird or mouse) and dogs (who scavenge any non-mortally poisoned creature). The sanctuary fence has proven that it cannot remain entire in basic weather conditions. Page 4 again states "take measures to minimise the chance of baits entering any body ot water". How are the Sanctuary volunteers going to manage this? It goes on to say "exposed bodies of all poisoned animals whould be collected and destroyed by complete burning or deep burial at a landfill approved for hazardous wastes". Again, how it this being managed?
