Memorial Inspections

Fareham Borough Council is a Burial Authority and is responsible for the protection and safety of all cemetery users under the Health and Safety Act 1974.  It is the responsibility of memorial owners to undertake the necessary repairs to memorials or arrange the reinstatement of the memorials which have been laid flat. A Memorial Mason registered with the council must be appointed to undertake this work and a memorial application submitted to the council. The council's programme of memorial inspections is scheduled to take place every 5 years commencing from April 2006.

If you require any further information on Cemeteries, please contact the Cemeteries and Parks Officer at Fareham Borough Council, Civic Offices, Civic Way, Fareham, Hampshire, P016 7AZ, tel: 01329 236100 ext: 2550 or e-mail parks@fareham.gov.uk.

 

Micro-chipping - Dogs

Dog owners in Fareham can have their dogs micro-chipped by appointment with the Dog Control Officer.

The microchip, which is quickly and easily injected between the shoulder blades of the dog, remains with the animal for life. This ensures that if it is lost, vets and welfare organisations can easily identify the animal and reunite them with their owner. Microchipping also identifies proof of ownership should a dog be stolen, providing the owners details are kept up to date.

The cost for micro-chipping each dog (& cats) is £10.  A microchip does not replace the legal requirement for a dog to wear a visible tag, bearing the owners address.

For more information please contact the Dog Control Officer tel: 01329 236100 or e-mail regulatory@fareham.gov.uk.

Moorings

The council does not own the foreshore but holds a lease from The Crown which entitles it to licence a limited number of mud mooring at Fareham Creek. All licence holders are required to lay their own mooring, ground tackle etc. An annual licence fee is payable. Third party public liability insurance must be obtained and approved by ourselves prior to any mooring occupation. Applicants should ideally reside within the borough of Fareham or its immediate neighbouring areas due to accessibility in the case of any emergencies. The maximum length of boat permitted is 25ft. All the moorings are mud moorings therefore only boats which will accommodate the mud adequately will be accepted, deep drafted boats are unsuitable.

Should you wish to apply please complete the application form for a boat mooring (65 Kb) and return it to the Estates Technical Officer at Fareham Borough Council or fill in the boat mooring application form online and your details will be added to the waiting list. The Council also lets 'en bloc' moorings to clubs and yards. Please contact the Customer Service Centre on tel: 01329 236100 or e-mail: customerservices@fareham.gov.uk for further information on moorings.
