Subject: MAFF advise closure of all slipways and lake access to
reduce risk of F&M spread
I gather that MAFF have asked SLDC to close access to the lake at Ferry Nab.
Details of the precise advice are being sent to me by SLDC. Apparently they
are also asking sailing clubs to suspend racing. The reasons are the risk of
infected material being imported on trailer tyres and also the fact that F&M
can be transmitted in water.
More details will follow when I get them, but for those 'in the front line'
please be thinking about mechanisms for spreading the message.
