Petition Public enquiry into DEFRA's handling of Bird Flu 2016/17
Defra have failed to provide timely, clear & consistent info to poultry keepers and the general public throughout the prevention zone and outbreak period.
More details
The law relating to lockdown requirements is vague. Defra/Apha/Trading Standards representatives are issuing conflicting information when questions have been raised. The general public have received minimal information via the media, any information has been actively sought by those with online access and a passing knowledge of the situation. We (the public) have many questions that require clear answers.
