I have always been a committed advocate for our rural, farming and agricultural communities and will always ensure their voice is heard in Westminster.
Here in Lincolnshire, we are known as the breadbasket of the country. It is essential that we should be able to use our prime agricultural land for food production. That’s why I’m opposed to the proposed Hatton Solar Farm near Wragby.
Last week I attended a meeting with the Horncastle branch of the NFU (National Farmers' Union). I met more than twenty local farmers and NFU representatives.
I marked this year's Back British Farming Day on 13th September.
Farming and agriculture forms the backbone of many of our local rural communities and plays a critical role in maintaining the nation’s food security.
I recently visited the site of an ambitious development project that promises to bring even more excitement and recreational opportunities to the vibrant community of Spilsby.
Ahead of what is looking to be another hot summer, I joined local farmer Ian Watson, NFU representatives and members of the Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service for a demonstration of how a special fire engine adapter is being used to tackle potentially devastating wildfires.
