An attempt to ban trail-hunting on council-owned land was halted when it was confirmed that the council only owns five acres of licensed land, none of which is accessed by any hunts.
Councillor Nick Clarke had put forward a motion to ban legal trail-hunting on any land owned by Bolsover District Council in Derbyshire. But during a full council meeting yesterday (3 February) it was revealed that the authority had no land hunts could use, even if they had wanted to.
After councillors had spoken on both sides of the debate, council leader Steve Fritchley said there were some parts of the proposal that the district council could not legally enforce, such as banning activities on roads, as this comes under the other authorities’ remit.
