BLUETONGUE IN THE UK (sources: DEFRA and BBC websites)

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Laboratory tests have identified the strain of Bluetongue found in one Highland cow at the Baylham House Rare Breeds Farm near Ipswich, Suffolk and Defra have placed restrictions around this site.

This is the first time Bluetongue virus has been recorded in the UK although this strain has been found in Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg and Netherlands since August 2006.

Few facts about Bluetongue:

* Bluetongue does not affect humans and the Health Protection Agency advise that people who have visited the affected premises do not need to be concerned that there is any risk to their health.

* This is a disease of animals: ruminants including sheep, cattle, deer, camelids and goats. It is transmitted by the movement of midges or by movements of infected animals if they are subsequently bitten by midges.

Defra has been working in close partnership with the industry to develop the Bluetongue Control Strategy and has jointly been involved in raising awareness of this disease.

TIER Group Meeting

Friday, August 31st, 2007

As a result of the floods, The Tourism Industry Emergency Response (TIER) Group recently conducted a meeting regarding aid for rural tourism recovery; please see below for more information.

At a recent TIER Group meeting, the Secretary of State, James Purnell, informed members that VisitBritain has been granted an additional £1m to aid rural tourism recovery in the wake of this year’s floods and FMD outbreak. VisitBritain will be using half this additional funding immediately to boost existing marketing campaigns including “Rural Escapes”, “Family Fun” and “Britain’s Favourite View”. The marketing will include £250k spent on TV and print advertising, £150k on online promotions and the development of syndicated radio interviews.

The other half of the funding will be used to leverage funding from partners such as the RDAs, National Trust and Hoseasons to develop campaigns for the Autumn period. (If members centres would like to be involved, please contact the EnjoyEngland team at Visit Britain).
 

Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) Licensing- its implications for homestay families

Friday, August 31st, 2007

The new HMO licence came into force on 6 April 2006. Under the new rules, a house is considered as being an HMO, therefore requiring a licence, when amongst other criteria the landlord is not resident and/ or the house has been converted and let out to 3 or more tenants who form 2 or more households.

From the above definition, homestay families should automatically be exempt, however in some cases, local councils have classed homestays as HMOs.

To counter this decision, it is important for homestays to demonstrate that they are not renting the rooms to students, and that the students form part of the family’s household. Homestays can also show that the money being paid to them by centres is not a market rent, and in effect only covers the provision of agreed services to the students.
