Dear Sir/Madam
 
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 and/or ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
REGULATIONS 2004 – INFORMATION REQUEST
022059
 
Thank you for your request for information.
 
The information you requested is below:
 
Please provide the number of complaints and the date of the complaints
that NNDC has received about rat problems from:
 
1.       Mr Nigel Dixon
        0
2.       Members of the Public in Hoveton & Tunstead
        0
3.       Businesses in Hoveton & Tunstead
        0
 
Please provide any correspondence between NNDC environmental health
department and Mr Nigel Dixon. There is none concerning this matter.
 
This covers September 2022 to March 8 2023.
 
In order the explain the context of the Bridge Magazine article, this was
because the councillor had reports of significant sightings of rats at 5
locations within residential and riverside amenity areas of Hoveton mostly
by telephone calls and verbal mentions from residents. Most included
information about what was attracting the rats, for example: excess
provision of bird food in garden feeders and discarding waste food for
birds, including fish products, in public open spaces. The majority of the
reports concerned private property where the landowners have
responsibility for rodent control, and none involved a scale and severity
of risk that justified notification and intervention of NNDC Environmental
Health. These are local small scale seasonal migration and feeding
problems requiring an awareness and small changes to habits by residents
to minimise the risk of attracting and harbouring rats.
 
The information supplied to you continues to be protected by the
Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, you are free to use it for your
own purposes, including any non-commercial research you are doing and for
the purposes of news reporting.  Any other re-use would require the
