PLEASE… STAY OFF FARMLAND!

Farmers are absolutely begging people to stay off their land and the bridal ways and footpaths that cross their farming land.

With the closure of the beaches and the National Park, farmers are very suddenly seeing a big increase of people exercising their dogs on their farm land and the paths that cross it.

Please…

It is the middle of lambing season – dogs around sheep at this time cause real difficulties.

If farmers catch Covid-19 from contact with contaminated gates, styles etc and become ill themselves (farmers simply do not have the facilities to constantly wash their hands when out on their land), their farms will ‘go down’, and their animals will go uncared for. Crops desperately need planting t- he winter has been harsh enough on us as it is.

Farmers are totally on their own in this. So PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE stay off farmland and the paths that cross it.

Dogs will get through this crisis. If a farmer and his farm goes down, the animals and crops on his farm may not.

Please keep checking back here to find the latest information – it will all be available on our Peter Tavy Community Support Hub page.

Befriending by phone:
We are very mindful of those self-isolating and missing the very natural activity of communication!

While most will have computers, there are some in the Parish who do not. And even with  access to social media, the friendly voice of a local can be welcome!

If you would like someone to call you we do have a list of people who are willing to be a phone ‘buddy’.  Please let us know, (we will not pass out your number unless you ask us to). OR contact us if you would be willing to be a “phone befriender”.

Email us at contacthub@petertavyparishcouncil.org.
