A Friskney rabbit owner was left bemused after receiving an official council warning letter about excessive barking at his address.

Martin Vickers, of Low Road, received the letter from East Lindsey District Council warning him that excessive barking was classed as anti-social behaviour under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

But the only animal at Martin’s address is his seven year-old rescue rabbit Joey.
