Bird Flu Protection Zone - Includes Appleby Magna

Protection zone in place after new bird flu case. Trading Standards officers from Leicestershire County Council will be knocking on doors and sending letters to properties within a 3km zone to give bird owners advice and where necessary, arrange a health inspection by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA).

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has put 3km and 10km zones in place within which all bird keepers have to follow increased biosecurity measures to limit the risk of the disease spreading.

The council’s highways teams are also putting up information signs to inform drivers they are entering an area with restrictions.

The fifth case in Leicestershire follows recent outbreaks at commercial poultry premises near Barrow upon Soar in Charnwood and a rise in cases across the country. >> full release
