Vote Blue Go Green
Today we launched our rural manifesto at the Winter Fair at Llanelwedd. The launch took place in the Young Farmers’ Pavilion. Brynle Williams, our Spokesperson, Suzy Davies, our candidate for Brecon and Radnorshire, and I dealt with the issues (after moving furniture around together with a team of people).
The policies that we focussed upon were:
- the need to restore Tir Mynydd to its former status
- the need to provide help for our Dairy farmers
- to provide support to Post Offices by helping with business rates and an expanded Post Office Development Fund
- listening to the concerns of the countryside and helping to solve problems such as the spread of Bovine TB
- and, importantly, action to promote increased recycling and to limit packaging in supermarkets.
We committed ourselves to give priority to the development of renewable energy technologies like solar, tidal and bio mass which have been very much underdeveloped and which have massive potential.
These were the ambitious policies that we set out today at Llanelwedd.
