Hi all


I was asked to look into what the council can do regarding this and I am afraid that there is not much at all.


?Assessing, seizing and rescuing animals is beyond the councils remit as unfortunately we do not have any responsibility for animal welfare unless it relates to the following below. In this case it would be for the RSPCA to attend and assess the allegations.


The council has responsibility for:-

Animals kept in such a manner as to cause a statutory nuisance (barking dogs, odour of dung, fly infestations, etc.)

Licensing dangerous wild animals enclosures

Licensing commercial catteries and kennels

Fining people for letting their dog poop and not picking it up?


I hope that the matter is resolved informally with the business or, if necessary, with the RSPCA.


Best wishes

James

      You are again misinformed. The Highway Code is also clear about clothing.   It is here. Section 59 Section 59 of the Highway Code explains the appropriate clothing cyclists should wear in order to make it easier for other road users to spot them and help to keep them protected in the case of a collision. Cyclist clothing: Helmet – Your cycle helmet should conform to the current regulations, be the correct size for your head and be securely fastened. Appropriate fitted clothing – Your clothing should be tight fitted to prevent it getting tangled in the chain or wheel of your bicycle. Light clothing – Light and fluorescent clothing will help you to stand out in daylight and poor light. Reflective accessories – Strips on the helmet, as well as armbands and ankle bands will help you be seen in the dark. and  Section 60 This section of the Highway Code is all about cyclists’ lights and reflectors. At night cyclists must have their white front and red rear lights lit. Their bicycles must also be fitted with a red rear reflector and amber pedal reflectors. White front reflectors and spoke reflectors can also increase your visibility to other road users. Flashing lights are permitted but cyclists riding in areas without street lighting should use a steady front lamp instead.

      I am aware. You didn’t read my post properly: I was pointing out that people can wear whatever clothes they feel comfortable in. And that a moped isn’t a bicycle.

      Earl A…… You are misinformed. There is a legal obligation for cyclists to have front and rear lights. Rule 60 of The Highway Code

      Angelina, I think you have identified a genuine issue and I have noted similar. If cycling, in its various forms, continues to grow then I think safety education will have to somehow be addressed.
