spud gun 16 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Based in Leicester and after a long break due to work again looking to get back into it. I have still got the odd bits of kit and a bsa lighting all set up and ready to go. Just really struggling for permission as before I do live close to a golf course that has shut down and is over ran that the council owned, any suggestions who to get on to to try and gain permission (no ones been over there for 18 months) or any other tips. Cheers Quote Link to post
philpot 4,928 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 To be honest, if the council owns the golf course, it is very difficult to get permission because there are so many rules within the council that will prevent them from giving you permission. If you want to try, look through the Leicester local gov site and get in touch with the parks dept as a start. Phil 2 Quote Link to post

Have thought about going for a walk over with the dog late at night 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,397 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Get insurance and do a risk assessment and then ask the council , they have runs but have a duty of care to the neighbours etc to control pests 1 Quote Link to post

It may well be worth producing a map showing the full outline of the golf course and where you think the rabbit issue is, also print out a Google Maps photo of the site and it's relationship to houses, public paths etc. Good luck 2 Quote Link to post
