        <![CDATA[ NOVEMBER 6th 2007


Windsor Great Park has now been reopened following restrictions imposed during the Foot and Mouth outbreak. The following posts are retained here by way of
record.






A sad sight. The magnificent Long Walk usually enjoyed by

hundreds of visitors on a beautiful day like this, deserted,

except for the deer up by the Copper Horse.


As a precaution, Windsor Great Park was closed to visitors as a result of the nearby FMD outbreak near Egham.


The Long Walk was closed... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I received the following from DEFRA re the above. It is just irritating that old signs are left on display when new developments have taken place.
<br>
<br>

<blockquote>
  The land at Runnymede was taped off after the FMD outbreak in the Summer. The pastures on farms where FMD is confirmed can be restricted for up to 12 months
  after confirmation of disease.
  <br>
  <br>
  However, if the farmers choose to undergo a process called sentinel restocking, restrictions can be lifted sooner.... ]]></description>

now is) ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Further to the above, I would have assumed that if restrictions remain on certain fields, then these fields must therefore be unavailable to livestock.
<br>
<br>
Apparently not so. While at Runnymede the other day I noticed that there were cattle in the fields once more, yet the warning signs and tape remained across
the gates.
<br>
<br>
Odd, I thought. ]]></description>

months yet!

<blockquote>
  Once the restrictions are lifted, the local authorities are responsible for the removal of all signage and debris. Please contact them on this matter:

			<description><![CDATA[ I have received the following (quite quickly!!) from DEFRA Customer Contact Unit.
<br>
<br>
______________
<br>
<br>
Thank you for your email about Foot and Mouth Disease restrictions in some farms in Surrey.
<br>
<br>
According to information from Animal Health and Surrey Country Council, there are about 30 parcels of land under restrictions following the Foot and Mouth
Disease outbreak. The reason for these remaining restrictions is that it is not possible to cleanse and disinfect grazing... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ As you point out, some people will continue to ignore the restriction notices. I would suggest that if you are concerned as to whether a particular area is
restricted or not, then a call to DEFRA to confirm the location&#39;s status is the best option. As to whether you will get a &#39;DEFRA assurance&#39;,
following the debacle that was the management of the F&amp;M issue by DEFRA, I&#39;d be inclined to take any &#39;assurance&#39; with a very big pinch of salt! ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ That is very interesting, many thanks. I was under the impression that the FMD virus remained viable for about a month in the open, triple it for safety, hence
my belief that the closures were now no longer relevant... but that is a &#39;townie&#39; for you!
<br>
<br>
What is more to the point is that most visitors to the countryside will now almost certainly ignore the restrictions - they certainly did when the infection
was at its peak - thinking that the matter is now history.

			<description><![CDATA[ with reference to the signs on Runnymede - these areas are still off limits by order of DEFRA, who have extended the closure restrictions to specific sites
where infected cattle were penned/culled. As one of two authorised pest controllers for the National Trust at Runnymede, I am advised that these enforcements
are to remain in place until September 2008. I expect these extended regulations apply to certain other sites within the local area as well. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I note that much of the tape used to close off areas affected by FMD last autumn, along with the &#39;Closed&#39; signs, remain in place at Runnymede and at a
lot of other locations also. I think it is about time that all the paraphernalia was cleared away, especially as we are being told that this plastic, similar
to plastic bags, are a hazard to wild life and is generally unsightly. Quite apart from the fact that at any time in the future, they may be needed for real
once more. Don&#39;t... ]]></description>
