Carcass case farmer told to leave land
Wednesday 8th April 2009, 10:57AM BST.
A farmer who left rotting lamb carcasses on land he leases near Shrewsbury is to have his tenancy terminated.
Earlier this year Malcolm Trow admitted four offences relating to incidents on Lower Hill Farm in Marton and a site he leases from English Heritage in Wroxeter, near Shrewsbury.
Shrewsbury magistrates fined him £1,200 after hearing how the farmer left six lamb carcasses on the land in Wroxeter.
Now English Heritage has revealed it has decided to give Mr Trow 12 months notice for the termination of his tenancy.
The heritage guardians took the decision after the offences, which took place last spring. The court case was heard in February this year.
William du Croz, English Heritage regional estates surveyor, today said Mr Trow would have to leave the Wroxeter site before the end of the year.
He said: “English Heritage has exercised its legal right to give Mr Trow 12 months notice for termination of the tenancy.”
There was nobody at Mr Trow’s address in the Welshpool area this morning.
