...A Facebook group called Chickens NOT out has been set up and has hundreds of members from across the country, a petition was launched on the Downing Street website for a change in the law and an internet forum for chicken owners, omlet.co.uk, has been helping to campaign in support of the Lewis family.

 

 

just goes to show what a united front and sticking together can do, we won!!!! I'm so pleased for The Lewis family. Thank you to everyone who kept the faith!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Just found this on the web

 

"Hens are allowed on all council owned allotments in England and Wales. The Allotment Act 1950 includes the allowance of certain forms of livestock (hens and rabbits) to be kept although this can be, in some cases, restricted by local by-laws.

 

A council may have local rules to specify that no livestock or hens are allowed. However, these local regulations must adhere to the Allotment Act(s) and those regulations that do not comply are not in force until confirmed by a local by-law. "

 

Maybe there is no local by-law? Maybe their garden could be classed as an allotment??

 

It would be good to know the real reason.

really sorry everyone, just had a message from their grandaughter to say the media has jumped the gun on this one! They have another meeting with the council next week, she has no idea where the reporter is getting his quotes from.

 

I'm so sorry for getting your hopes up but after reading the article I thought they were in the clear :(

 

I will update you next week.
