Nuneaton wildlife rescue wins appeal against council notice

An animal rescue has won an appeal against a council abatement notice imposed after complaints about odour.

Nuneaton & Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary, based on a residential street in the town, has cared for more than 100,000 animals since 2001.

The notice was imposed by the borough council in May 2022 after three complaints were made about smells from the Oaston Road sanctuary.

District Judge David Wain announced the decision at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday. The council said it would consider the judgment and reflect on the decision.

The case was adjourned to 9 July to deal with the issue of costs.

The rescue was founded by Geoff Grewcock, 74, and is co-managed by daughter Emma Hudson, who said they reduced capacity by 50% after the order and overhauled the cleaning regime.

Speaking after Tuesday’s announcement, Mrs Hudson, 41, said she was “ecstatic” and felt proud “we fought hard for something we believe in”.

She added: “We’re just little people and we took a whole council on.”
