Warwickshire Hunt has been served with a three-year notice from police amid concerns about dangers on roads. Warwickshire Rural Crime Team has revealed that it served Community Protection Notice (CPN) to Warwickshire Hunt Limited.

This notice will be in place for three years and, if conditions are breached, it could lead to criminal action.

The Rural Crime Team said the CPN has been served after Warwickshire Hunt was given a warning notice in back in May about antisocial use of the county road network. This initial warning appears to have been ignored as the team said that they continue to see ‘unreasonable and dangerous’ use of the roads.

The CPN imposed conditions to tackle this, under the scope of the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014. The conditions are:

• Warwickshire Hunt to give advance notice of events, and details of the times and locations of road crossing points.
• There are also requirements for them to inform police who will control dogs during the event,
• The organisation to notify participants about their responsibilities around crossing roads at designated points.
