Horticulture business owner blasts 'disastrous anti-farming policies'

A Lancashire commercial plant-grower and greenhouse supplier has accused governments of pushing ‘disastrous anti-farming policies’ and asked Ribble Valley Council if it is ‘blindly following’ well-known climate change science or doing its own research?

“More than 50 per cent of councils are now signed-up to net zero. I am concerned about the current plans and policies of this council. “Has this been discussed with local farmers and butchers, not to mention the wider community, who will be impacted? Mrs Haley claimed a former IPCC chief executive had said climate policy has nothing to do with the environment but was, in fact, about wealth redistribution.

In reply, Conservative Coun Stephen Atkinson, Ribble Valley Council leader, said:”The council has created a Climate Change Working Group of councillors from all political parties with a wide range of views. I can assure you this group has robust discussions on the council’s approach to climate change and is certainly not blindly following any particular direction.
