Several local authorities nationwide have introduced new rules after a recent spike in deer attacks. The borough council’s head of parks, heritage and culture, Paul Rabbitts, told the
Observer: “We have no current plan to make dog leads in parks compulsory but if the problems persist, we may have to take a harder line.” It comes after police were called to Cassiobury Park last month following reports that two dogs chased a deer and tore “chunks of flesh” from its hind before it got stuck on a fence. A spokesperson from Hertfordshire Constabulary said the deer was not found afterwards, but an eyewitness feared it could have died of shock or from the attack.
Hertfordshire has deployed 50 newly-trained hate crime champions into community groups.
The champions have been sent into a string of different organisations to help to raise awareness of hate crime, support individuals who have been a victim and encourage them to report it to the police.
They encourage victims to report it to the police directly or at a third-party reporting centre.
The initiative in Hertfordshire is a collaboration between district and borough councils, housing associations, charities and community groups.
