Welcome to the Gelvert Catchment Area Lookers' Blog

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!

Hi all

I unexpectedly can’t go out tomorrow I’m afraid, but can look for them today if no one else has planned to?

We could not miss the 10 in the triangle Bourley Road, Ceasers and Gelvert, just where we last saw them on Friday. What they find so attractive about that area we do not know but we have seen them there quite a few times. Four from the gang of 7 were seen by the fishing lake grazing and drinking. The three not seen are 222, 226, and 228. Stay Safe, Marina & Des
