Buckden Parish Community
Web-site
The parish of Buckden lies
on the Dales Way, at the northern end of Wharfedale and consists of the
village itself, nestling under the impressive bulk of Buckden Pike, as
well as the hamlets of Cray, Hubberholme, Raisgill, Yockenthwaite,
Deepdale, Beckermonds, Oughtershaw and Greenfield. Set in the heart of
the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park, Buckden is a popular
destination for walkers and holidaymakers, with excellent walking and
many delightful places to eat, drink and stay!
There is
a thriving local community with many events taking place throughout the
year. The principal commercial activities are farming and tourism with
many businesses catering for the visitor, as well as for local
residents.
This
web-site has been created to provide a source of information about the
village and the area, for both visitors and local residents. |

Anne Newman - Thank you
Anne has asked for the following message to be
put on the website "Thank you to all the people who gave me such a
lovely send-off at the Buck last Saturday. I was very touched that so
many people had turned up, and astonished that the whole thing had been
kept secret, I had absolutely no idea! I'm installed with my son-in-law
for the moment, but once I have my permanent address, I'll let you all
know, visitors will be very welcome!" |

Buckden Village Quiz at the Buck
The
Buckden village quiz started in the early 2000s at the Buck Inn with
Chalky as the quizmaster, to generate additional trade on Sunday
evenings. In 2006, during the unfortunate stewardship of the Buck by
“Lord” Baskerville Hound, the quiz was jettisoned (along with most other
aspects of a village pub, including customers). It was therefore decided
to hold the Sunday evening quiz in the Institute where it soon became
firmly established. During the renovation of the hall last year, Jo and
Jeremy at the Buck very kindly agreed to host the quiz (along with other
village activities) in order that it could continue. At the end of the
renovations, the Institute committee felt that the move back to the Buck
had been successful, and that it would be appropriate for the quiz to
stay in its original home. Jo and Jeremy were keen to keep hosting the
quiz and accordingly the quiz will continue to be held in the Buck as it
has been for the last 12 months. |

Emergency Calls - Thanks to Keith Jeddere-Fisher
who has researched the subject of whether or not it is possible to make
emergency calls even when there is no signal. The situation is as
follows: Emergency calls can
be made on any mobile phone network, not just your own. If you
are somewhere where your network doesn't have reception but
another does, you get Emergency Calls Only. If no networks have any signal,
you'll be told there is no reception and you can't even make
999 calls. The 112 number does link people through to
999, but it only works if you have a signal on your mobile
phone. If you have no signal bars on your phone, it will not
work. |

First Responders win award
Buckden and Kettlewell Community First
Responders (CFRs) teams jointly won the Yorkshire Ambulance Trust
"Scheme of the Year" regional award for 2019 in recognition of the
levels of on-duty coverage provided by small numbers of volunteers in
their areas. CFRs are volunteers who are part of the Yorkshire Ambulance
Service (YAS), providing advance attendance to serve local communities
and assistance to the Service which is especially important in rural
areas where ambulances may take some time to arrive. CFRs are only
activated by the YAS after a 999 call has been made and an ambulance
dispatched and are generally not called upon for accidents or injuries.
Unfortunately, full cover is not possible in Buckden in July there
was on-duty coverage for 74% of the time. If you would be prepared to
assist the community by undergoing training and becoming a Responder
please contact Robin (Tel. 01756 761320)

2016, in spite of having only been discharged from hospital the previous

Buckden Gala - thank-yous
A message from
Debbie - our Gala Secretary "A
massive thank you to everyone who
contributed in one way or another to the Gala yesterday. It was
particularly challenging this year with a number of our usual volunteers
attending another event, so thank you to those who agreed to do longer
shifts on our stalls to help us out. And a particular thanks to the
ladies who stepped in at the last minute to help run the tea tent.
Thanks to Anne for all of her administrative support, thanks to Bev for
running a tight ship on the field, and to Ted for entrusting us with his
tractor. Thanks to all of the sponsors, and providers of raffle prizes.
And thank you to everyone who helped set up the field on Friday, and who
helped take everything off the field on both Saturday evening and Sunday
morning. A huge amount of effort goes into organising and running the
Gala, but the £3,000+ that it will have raised will go a long way
towards keep the village institute running for another year!"
Meanwhile, Bev would like to thank everyone who helped with setting up
the Gala field and with putting everything away afterwards.
...and finally we would all like to thank Debbie and Bev for all their
hard work coordinating the Gala - it is really appreciated.

Buckden Walkers
Evening Stroll
– Bishopdale
Wednesday
19th June 2019,

by Robin and Stella.
A 2 mile

Walkers should meet at The Buck Inn, Buckden, at 6:00pm to share lifts –
or at the memorial on the green at West Burton, ready to walk at 6:30pm.
The two mile stroll is generally good underfoot, unless there is
recent rain, with only one potentially awkward stile – but there is
a short cut. Non walkers should be at the Street Head Inn at 8:00pm and
the meal is set for 8:15pm. Anyone wishing to eat should contact Robin
with their food order as soon as possible, chosen from the menu (click
here) Please be aware that there are 6 Selection areas, from
Starters to Grill Selection. Please note: dogs are welcome on the Stroll
but can only be accepted in the Bar area at Street Head. It would be
helpful if you could tell Robin if you intend to bring your dog. |

Cakes for the Gala
- due to a conflict of events on 15 June we have a very limited supply
of stall holders for Buckden Gala and we are having to find ways of
economising how we man the stalls this year. Therefore some of our
usual arrangements are having to change. We have previously been
indebted to local villagers who have made cakes for either/both the cake
stall and the tea tent. This year we will be consolidating the two, and
cakes will be sold either whole or in portions from the tea tent this
year. We would be really grateful for any donations of cakes this year
from our usual cake-makers, but it would be helpful to know in advance
what we can expect. Would any prospective bakers just let Debbie know
(debbie@beckcottage.com)or
761024) what they might be able to provide to ensure that we will have
sufficient on the day. Thanks in advance. |

– Collection for BIASAN
(Bradford Immigrants and Asylum Seekers Advice and Support Network).
Last year we sent several car loads of stuff over the course of the
summer and it would be good to do so again. Paola who runs the store
advises us that the following are needed: • bedding – (mainly) single
bed sheets (flat and fitted) mainly, blankets for both single and double
beds, pillows, pillow cases, and duvet covers.• crockery - dining plates
and bowls; • kitchen utensils - ladles, colanders, potato peelers,
kitchen scissors, etc); • cooking implements -saucepans and frying pans
as big as possible (but we are also out of any size, so any welcome); •
toys and games for children any age. Also, there is a huge need for old
laptops for communication, language learning and education. BIASAN has
access to someone who can wipe clean and make serviceable old laptops.

Institute – War Memorial
As we heard at the Armistice Service last year, some time after 1919 it
was proposed that a memorial be provided in the village hall to
commemorate those men of Buckden Parish who fought and died in the Great
War. For whatever reason (probably to do with the Depression) this never
happened, but the committee have decided to try and rectify this as part
of the redevelopment of the Institute and to mark the centenary of the
Armistice with a memorial to the dead of both world wars. To raise funds
for this we have submitted an application to Tesco’s “Bags of Help”
Scheme. We have been selected as one of three projects which people
will be able to vote for in Skipton Tescos during May and June. Whenever
you spend money in Tescos (in store only – not online), you are entitled
to a token which you can then use to vote by putting it in the relevant

Buckden Village Institute
Building Works - Update
Buckden Institute is now
back in use following completion of Phase 1 of the works. The will be
further disruption next year when we move on to the subsequent phases
but for now the hall is available for use as normal. For information,
the phases are as follows: Phase 1 - which is what we have just
about finished was about creating more space and sorting out storage.
It's more or less complete other than the storage area outside the
kitchen which we will do coincident with Ph 3 for obvious reasons.
Phase 2 - is basically sorting out the interior of the hall (in
order to try and sort the damp, condensation and mould problems). That
means lining, insulating the walls, plastering, as well as improving the
entrance. This phase is still not fully funded, and we are trying to
raise the additional funds. (currently we have 50% of what we need).
Phase 3 - is sorting out the kitchen - which is funded. We had hoped
to do that coincident with Phase 2 - and if we can sort out the Phase 2
funding in the next 2 or 3 months we will be able to. Phase 4 -
is then about the decoration of the hall - new curtains and fully
painting the newly plastered interior. |

Collection of household goods - August.
The Upper
Wharfedale Refugee Support Group is collecting household goods for
refugees based in Bradford through BIASAN (Bradford Immigration and
Asylum Seekers Support and Advice Network). Our collection priority is
the basics i.e. the sort of things that people who have nothing, need to
start a home: cutlery, crockery, cooking
equipment and utensils, storage containers, bedding, towels, cleaning
equipment, curtains, lamps etc.
We are unable to take furniture but can
take small electrical items. Microwaves are in great demand as
the only cooking source for some families and vacuum cleaners are
also another piece of equipment difficult to get hold of. Also, as
people do not have cars, things like shopping trollies or rucksacks
are particularly useful and radios are in great demand for
those isolated and living alone. We do not need ornaments, toiletries or
bric-a-brac and all items should be clean and in good condition. If you
would like to help with this, please get in touch and donations can be
made to Buckden Barn, Buckden or contact Stella on 01756 761320. |

Buckden Walkers Monday Walk
–July
2nd 2018 Wether Fell and the Roman Road Let’s try again! A steady 51/2
mile walk along Cam High Road and on footpaths around Wether Fell.
Mostly flat, but with a couple of ups and downs around the fell – 300
feet in total. Wonderful views of Raydale, Semer Water, Addlebrough &
Wensledale, but the walk needs a clear day to appreciate the views and
to avoid getting lost! Usual arrangements, meet at the Buck Inn at
10.30am for car sharing, bring your picnic. It looks as though the
weather may be kind, but if not I have a walk in mind near Stainforth,
and will email if we need to do that one. |

Buckden Gala - a message from Debbie
Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way to the success of
yesterday’s Gala. Despite the weather, we managed to have a great
afternoon raising much needed funds for the village hall. The final
total raised has yet to be determined but will still be substantial in
the circumstances. Thank you to anyone who helped set up the field, or
put everything away afterwards, bake cakes, contribute raffle or tombola
prizes, or man any of the stalls throughout the afternoon. Thank you to
our visiting stall-holders who helped add such a variety of interest to
the field. And thank you also to our visitors who came, despite the
poor forecast, and who helped contribute to a fantastic atmosphere in
the marquees when the rain came down! |

How to catch a bus
A number of
people, particularly outside the shop in Kettlewell, have missed the bus
for various reasons. We have produced the attached guide to explain to
people how to catch the bus. Obviously this not aimed at locals, but if
you meet a visitor who seems to be having problems with this, perhaps
you could share the advice with them.
Click here to download. Meanwhile, the Venturer is back from
its visit to Bradford with newly realigned steering geometry and a new
DPF sensor. Why not check it out and see if you can tell the difference?
Remember - if we want a bus service, we have to use it, and now the Buck
is open again, there's no good reason not to come to Buckden every day! |

Buckden Walkers Evening Strolls - 2018
This year we propose to hold
the Evening Strolls on the 3rd Wednesday of each month (April -
September). This should avoid occasions where the Monday Walk and
Wednesday Evening Stroll might otherwise fall in the same week. The
April Stroll will take place on Wednesday 18th, starting from the Buck
car park, leaving at 6:30pm, following the Dales Way and ending at the
Fox and Hounds at Starbotton, to eat at 8pm. (Sunset time 8:16pm - no
torches required!) At this stage we are more concerned to be able
to advise the pub on likely numbers. They have been very accommodating
and keen to help, but clearly need some guidance from us. Non-walkers
are very welcome to join us at the pub for the meal. Shelley is going to
prepare large, hearty Cottage Pies (for 6-8 people) with piles of
vegetables. If you are vegetarian, let us know; she will prepare a
vegetarian lasagne. Dogs will be welcome at the pub, but must be kept on
a lead during the walk. Anyone willing to lead future Strolls will be
very welcome - do contact David and Sue on 760877. We would like you to
reply to this email by Sunday 15th - we will then advise the Fox
& Hounds, to assist their buying, etc. The weather
forecast looks to be set fine for next week ... fingers crossed! So,
DO come and enjoy the evening. |

Kettlewell School - sponsored giving.
The Governors of the Upper Wharfedale Primary Federation communicated
with all our communities in October regarding the sustainability of our
four schools, including Kettlewell. The response was overwhelmingly in
favour of setting up a sponsored giving programme to mitigate the
deficits. To this end, we have established a process at Burnsall and
Kettlewell to facilitate this and the other two schools will come on
stream over the coming weeks and months.

Kettlewell Cinema Night
The next film to be shown at Kettlewell
Village Hall is titled "Their Finest" Saturday January 6th 7.30pm.
During the London Blitz of World War II, Catrin Cole is recruited by the
British Ministry of Information to write scripts for propaganda films
that the public will actually watch without scoffing. In the line of her
new duties, Cole investigates the story of two young women who
supposedly piloted a boat in the Dunkirk Evacuation and the story
becomes the basis for a fictional film with some possible appeal. As
Cole labours to write the script with her new colleague Tom Buckley,
veteran actor Ambrose Hilliard must accept that his days as a leading
man are over as he joins the project. Together, this disparate trio must
struggle against such complications as sexism against Cole, jealous
relatives, and political interference in their artistic decisions as
London endures the bombs of the enemy. In the face of those challenges,
they share a hope to contribute something meaningful in this time of war
and in their own lives. 12A As usual £5 for adults. Under 19 £2.50. |

Christmas at Hubberholme
- message from the Churchwardens:
"A very special and sincere "Thank you" is due to all the ladies who
'dressed' Hubberholme Church with such wonderful festive arrangements
and also to those, from far and wide who made generous donations of
'Stars' for the tree.
Click here to see the church decorated fro Christmas. We are so
grateful to Ted Downes of the Cam Forest Trust for the donation,
delivery and erection of the tree - It really is a most generous gift.
It is hoped that as many of you as possible will
find time to visit the church and appreciate the decorations - I'm
afraid the photography does not do the church or the decorators full
credit. We have the Crib and Christingle Service at 4 pm and Midnight
Communion at 11:30 pm on Christmas Eve and a special candlelit Christmas
Carol Service, supported by Buckden Singers, on Thursday 28th December
at 7pm. Finally, may we wish you a very 'Merry Christmas' and happy,
healthy and peaceful New Year to follow." |

Carol singing for refugees
Thursday 21 December 2 – 4pm
Last year £400 was raised to help the refugees by singing carols
in the foyer at Tesco's during the week before Christmas. The sound made
was helped enormously by people from the refugee support groups as well
as various choirs and other folks who joined in....this year the group
are hoping to raised more - If you are in Skipton on Thursday afternoon
21 December perhaps you could just drop in and out at your convenience
at some time between 2 - 4 pm. Wear something warm and 'Christmassy' if
possible - carol sheet will be provided as well as a bit of
fun...Enthusiasm is much more important than a good voice! The efforts
last year seemed well received by both customers and the staff at Tesco.
The money raised was sent to Christian Aid who are on the ground
working with refugees in many parts of the world. Please publicise this
as widely as possible and bring your friends! |

Set-back at the Buck
It seems hard to believe but apparently someone locally has complained
to the National Park that the renovations at the Buck are not in keeping
with the character of the building, and consequently work has had to
stop. It is hard to see how replacing rotten floor boards, repairing a
leaking chimney, and removing laminate flooring and 1970s seating could
be seen as not in keeping with the character of the building. Having
been in there several times while the pub was up for rent, it was damp
and down at heel and desperately in need of renovation. Having waited
almost a year for someone to take it on, it seems extraordinary that
anyone would object to the efforts of Jo and Jeremy to get us our pub
open as soon as possible. It is clear that this will further delay the
opening of the Buck, with continued damaging impact on the social and
economic life of the community, not to mention the message it sends to
Jo and Jeremy. If anyone doubts the impact of the Buck being closed,
passenger numbers on the bus to and from Buckden have dropped by a third
since the pub has been closed. I hope that more enlightened members of
the community will, like me, write to the National Park
highlighting the negative impact on the village and the community and
asking them to resolve this issue as rapidly as possible, to enable the
pub to reopen. Letters/emails should be sent
to Peter Stockton, Head of Sustainable Development, Yorkshire
Dales National Park Authority, Yoredale, Bainbridge, Leyburn. DL8 3EL;

Walk – 2 October
2017 - Wether Fell and the Roman Road. A steady 51/2 mile walk along Cam
High Road and on footpaths around Wether Fell. Mostly flat, but with a
couple of ups and downs around the fell – 300 feet in total. Wonderful
views of Raydale, Semer Water, Addlebrough & Wensleydale, but the
walk needs a clear day to appreciate the views and to avoid getting
lost! Usual arrangements, meet at the Buck Inn for car sharing, bring
your picnic. If the weather is misty Julian suggests a diversion to the
Aysgarth Falls and West Burton walk. |

Satire Strikes
As part of its nationwide tour, the satirical sketch show From Here To
Absurdity is returning to Wharfedale this autumn, and will headline at
Kettlewell Village Hall on Saturday 14 October.7.30pm. In recent years,
the show has been performed at both the Edinburgh Fringe and the Chicago
Sketch Festival. But the show is no stranger to these parts either,
having performed here in 2011 as well as being well received at venues
in Otley and Settle. Written by Private Eye contributor Rick Kelly, the
90 minute show takes a sharp look at the various absurdities of life in
modern Britain - including ‘divorce, death, devolution and ramblers’.
Those with a contempt for political correctness, accountants, and senior
managers might also find something amusing. Accompanying Kelly on stage
will be Ashley Hern, formerly of the Oxford University Revue, and Lucy
Simons, a stand-up comedienne well known on the Manchester and Liverpool
comedy circuits. Tickets £10 Under 19 £5 From Village shop, Zarina's

North Yorkshire Trading Standards continue to receive reports from
residents and businesses about workmen attending their location claiming
to be working on nearby roads and having a quantity of tarmac they need
to get rid of. This results in work agreeing to be done to repair a
driveway etc leading to poor workmanship and inflated prices with
consumers often being charged several thousand pounds for work which
they believed would only be a few hundred. PLEASE do not entertain such

Ultrafast Broadband comes
to Buckden
Boundless Networks (formerly LN Comms) has announced that Next
Generation 100Mbps Ultrafast broadband will be available in the Upper
Dale from August, following a long and protracted fibre installation by
BT Openreach. The Ultrafast range of broadband packages are faster than
BT Infinity, at a lower cost, with access speeds up to 100 Mbps. Prices
start at £29.99 for 50Mbps and £42.99 for 100Mbps. Boundless Networks
was the first company to bring Super-Fast broadband to the area and we
have proudly helped residents of Upper Wharfedale and Littondale since
2012. Boundless have committed to investing in the latest technology as
it becomes available enabling them to provide the area with superior
speeds and improved network reliability. Our support is really necessary
as only Boundless provide a service to the more remote areas of our
parish where BT will never invest in fast broadband. It is worth
remembering that Boundless provide free broadband in the Institute for
the benefit of villagers, and also provide the infrastructure which
carries the Vodafone 3G service. |

Kettlewell & District
Annual Horticultural Show.
Sunday 3rd September 2017
1-30 - 4pm The Kettlewell & District Horticultural Show was started in
1908 the object being to bring the people in the villages together and
take more pride in their gardens, and at first it was purely a
competition for the best flower and vegetable garden. The Show was held
in the old National School up the hill to Park Rash. It was held in a
simple marquee in the school grounds, there was a brass band and grand
dance in the evening!... Shortly after when the Kettlewell Village Hall
was built in 1927 the Show was moved into the new hall. The Show lapsed
during the two world wars, otherwise it has been held continuously since
1908 bringing the people of the dales together to show off their prowess
and admire the results of their labour and skills. The show prides
itself on being a traditional Dales event, and is open to all ages and
includes a full range of entry possibilities including flowers, fruit &
vegetables, baking, drinks, crafts and art. It’s great fun for the
children of the dales, and all children who bring along a vegetable
they’ve grown this year are certain to be awarded a small prize too. The
most exciting is a ‘Disaster Class!’ open to everyone. Anything from any
category that went wrong. Including strange shaped vegetables, weird
fruit and burnt cakes and buns!! The winner is voted by the public on
Show day. We get some funny entries!!! Refreshments and fun please come
along for a great day out! |

individual and at 16 is competing at an international level. Shes also
part of Team GB. Her poor father has 3 daughters who all appear a bit
pony mad and all his time and income is devoted to Izzys dream of
getting to the next Olympics. She just competed at Hartbury and won her
class. Hartbury is one of the international dressage competitions. I was

North Yorkshire Trading Standards have noticed an increase in reports
from residents being contacted by telephone by someone claiming to be
from Microsoft, BT, Talk-Talk or similar stating they have identified a
problem with the router or that the persons email has been 'hacked' They
will then trick the recipient into downloading software that allows the

claiming they can offer a service to rid the computer of viruses or
locking the computer and demanding a fee to unlock. This scam has been

Another fantastic Gala on

pass on his personal thanks to all the helpers who set up and took down
the field, and in turn, we have to thank him for doing his usual role as
Field Marshall with his customary efficiency and good humour - in spite
of his recent operation . Julie would like to say a huge thank you
to all the bakers who contributed cakes to the tea room. The customers
were really complimentary about the range and standard of baking and
the display was simply lovely.
Many thanks too to the volunteers who helped on the day, to all the

Buckden Gala - Message from Debbie
A big thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Gala such a
special day. Of course the weather played a big part, but in reality
the Gala cannot operate without the hard work and goodwill of a huge
number of volunteers – from the Gala committee who manage the planning
behind the scene for 6 months beforehand, to the army of volunteers who
‘person’ stalls on the day, or who help set up or clear away,
particularly including those who do not even live in the village. And
thank you also to the stall holders, both within and outside of the
village, who help give us the spectrum of stalls and activities that we
enjoyed on the day. The funds raised look set to be in the region of
£3,000 which will help pay for most of Buckden Village Institute’s
expenses for the next year. Debbie Roe, Chairperson, Gala Committee |

Upper Wharfedale Primary Federation - OFSTED
The newly established Upper Wharfedale Primary Federation underwent its
first OFSTED Inspection just a few weeks ago, with Grassington School in
the spotlight. The Governing Board are delighted to announce the outcome
of the Inspection: Grassington remains a GOOD school. The report
praised Mrs. Morton Lee, the Executive Headteacher, who has only been in
post since September 2016, saying; “Working alongside a newly formed,
hard-working and supportive Governing body, your skilful and determined
leadership has brought about significant improvements to teaching and
learning.” The Governors are delighted with the Inspection report and
see it as evidence of the educational benefits that being part of a
Federation have brought to this small rural school. Anne Vetch, Chair
of Governors of the Upper Wharfedale Primary Federation commented
"The standard of education our pupils receive, the commitment of our
Executive Headteacher and staff, the emphasis we place on safety and
behaviour together with our inclusive ethos have all been recognised
in this fair and balanced Inspection report. However we are not
complacent and will continue our constant strive for improvement in this
school and in others in our Federation”

Power
cut - Thursday 4th May Once
again National Powergrid, with their habitual disregard for customer
service, have decided to undertake work on the electricity electricity
network in BD23 5JA which will affect the Upper Dale They will be
switching off the electricity on 04 May, 2017 between 8:30 AM and 4:00
PM., because obviously we don't need it then. And there was me thinking
that the electricity supply was supposed to be a utility. They assure us
that are not doing anything illegal, which seems to me to be a pretty
low bar for how to run a business but there you go. If you have

Buckden Gala - Raffle Organiser
Kevin Roe has decided to step down
as organiser of the Gala Raffle after nine years, and the Institute
committee are very grateful to Kevin for all his efforts over the years.
The committee are now seeking a volunteer to take over the task. Richard
has kindly offered to oversee the raffle on the day, so the help we are
looking for is largely about the work in advance. This includes
coordinating the prizes (all members of the committee are involved in
sourcing prizes); organising the printing and distribution of tickets;
providing details of sponsors for the programme and the Gala website;
notifying winners of prizes not collected on the day; and
maintaining records for audit purposes. The raffle is a key part of our
fundraising at the Gala so any help would be really appreciated. If you
think you might be able to take on this role, please email
raffle@buckden.org and we can
talk though what is involved. |

clothing is essential. There is no entry charge but there will be a
plate for donations. It is not necessary to book. The event will

Avian flu outbreak near Settle
The UK’s Chief Veterinary Officer
has confirmed H5N8 avian flu in a small backyard flock near Settle in
North Yorkshire. A 3km Protection Zone and a 10km Surveillance Zone have
been put in place around the infected premises to limit the risk of the
disease spreading. The remaining live birds in the small flock of
chickens and ducks are being humanely culled. The advice from Public
Health England is that the risk to public health from the virus is very
low and the Food Standards Agency has made clear that bird flu does not
pose a food safety risk for UK consumers. For more info,
