Two Sheep Killed by a Dog in Wormleighton

There have been a number of incidents around the county of ewes and lambs being attacked and killed by dogs most recently this month in Wormleighton when two sheep were killed.

Please keep all dogs on a lead when passing through fields with any kind of livestock, especially with young at this time of year.

Always make sure you know where your dog is, especially if you live near fields with livestock in. Your dog is your responsibility both when you are at home and away.

From 6th April, 2016, ALL dogs in England, Scotland and Wales are legally required to be microchipped and their details registered on an authorised database. Failure to comply could lead to a fine of £500.

Living in Warwickshire Survey

living

Warwickshire County Council has launched the Living in Warwickshire survey which gives residents the chance to have their say on a range of public services within the county. 

Complete the survey online at: http://warwickshire.gov.uk/survey

The survey is an opportunity for people to have their say on what living in Warwickshire is really like. The research will gather people’s views on a variety of topics including health and wellbeing, community safety, local neighbourhoods, transport and public service provision.

Results from the survey will highlight key issues experienced by people on a day-to-day basis, including information on how they live, needs and challenges. This will inform council work programmes to address these local needs and shape services for the future.

The survey can be completed online only.  All respondents must be aged over 18 years old and will have the opportunity to enter a prize draw to a win.  First prize – 1 x Warwick Castle Family Annual Pass (for four people) and further prizes – 10 pairs of Warwick Castle day tickets.

On completion of the survey, residents will be signposted to a variety of services which are available to provide help and support within their local area. They will also have the opportunity to participate in focus groups to provide further detail and understanding.

The survey will close on Tuesday 31 May and all are encouraged to complete it.
