Nice work, would be a pity to see it spread across the country.

Common sense prevails and well done Chris for once again being the guardian of the hobby. I'm a little surprised that you didn't include restraint of trade as one of the legal reaons against such a blanket ban or was that in your armoury for any subsequent action?
It's a pity that such things can be proposed anonymously as obviously happened here. Some anti had some inside influence to get such a stupid proposal put on the council's agenda. They saw sense thanks to Chris's representation so hopefully this will set a precedent for other councils considering similar actions.

I would like to say thank you chris for standing up to the misconceptions yet again, some of you may well think this may not have affected you due to it being in one area, however had it been passed it would have been likely that other councils could have followed suit, the knock on effect could have been disastrous with the likes of schools and housing associations banning the keeping of reptiles on their premises.

We need people like chris fighting our corner, but they in turn need our support, join a national association, donate a little if you can and spread the word .
