Mablethorpe Avian Influenza Protection Zone

We would like to inform you that a case of avian influenza (bird flu) H5N1 has been confirmed near Mablethorpe in East Lindsey. As a result, a 3km Protection Zone and a 10km Surveillance Zone have been established around the affected area.

Our officers have been in the area today, putting up posters and providing advice. We kindly ask for your assistance in sharing and displaying the attached poster within your parish to help inform bird keepers about their legal responsibilities and the current restrictions.

We also provide regular updates on our social media pages. Please follow us on:

Thank you very much for your continued help and support in this matter.

Kind regards,

Lincolnshire County Council Trading Standards
