As a Local Authority we have a duty:
- To protect the welfare of animals at farms, in transit and at markets/gatherings
- To prevent, control and eradicate animal diseases
- To ensure that animal movements can be traced to safeguard human and animal health from transmitted disease.
Animal Health and Welfare Inspectors make regular visits to farms, abattoirs, markets/gatherings etc, to ensure compliance with the law and to educate and advise the local agricultural community.
We have established an enforcement forum to work with the agricultural community to achieve legal compliance and good practice.
