Bradford Council is to maintain its tough stance on banning people from using Baildon Moor and Shipley Glen.

The decision comes as another case of foot and mouth has been reported in Austwick, near Settle, bringing the total in that area up to 11. It follows the first 24 hours without a reported case since the outbreak 88 days ago.

A Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Foods (MAFF) spokesman said the latest case among sheep was at Old Hall at Feizer near Austwick and vets were attempting to trace the source. Alison Garlick, Bradford Council's environmental protection manager, said the authority was sticking to guidelines issued by MAFF, which made it essential to take precautions where animals were vulnerable to infection. Baildon Moor and Shipley Glen both had grazing animals.

"We are continuously reassessing the situation in line with MAFF guidelines and reopening areas when possible," she said.

Guidelines have been published for farmers, families and businesses struggling to cope with stress caused by the outbreak. They have been put together by psychologists at Airedale General Hospital in Steeton and North Yorkshire Health Promotion group.
