Ben Fletcher: My Promise to Local Farmers

Our rural economy is under threat. Here is my contract with the farming community.

Back to News

Farming is not just an industry; it is the stewardship of our landscape. Yet, farmers in Cheshire feel ignored by Westminster and local councils alike.

My promise is simple: I will establish a 'Rural Proofing' standard for all new regulations. If a policy hurts farmers, it doesn't pass.

Key Takeaways

Community First

Local decisions made by local people.

Investment

Securing funding for infrastructure.

Furthermore, we will launch a 'Buy Cheshire' campaign to get local produce into local schools and hospitals, shortening supply chains and boosting farm incomes.
