Council U-Turn on “Stray” Horses: A Victory for Common-Sense
Our 8 month campaign for Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) to be used against irresponsible horse owners seems to have been successful. In a policy U-Turn Cardiff Council’s Executive has ruled out renting grazing land for horses and agreed to use ASBOs.
We put this down to our resolve to ensure ASBOs are used, if necessary. We also want to thank residents of Splott and Tremorfa for their support and encouragement during these difficult months.
We have maintained all along that ASBOs, if used properly offered the cheapest, quickest and most effective solution to the “stray” horse problem as they have proved to be with irresponsible farmers in other parts of the UK. We also argued that if the Council wanted to lease land for grazing the land should be available to any horse owner, not just those who have caused many residents of Splott and Tremorfa misery for over two-and-a-half years.
We wait to see if ASBOs are used properly!
