A problem for who? Not for me.
So what I await to see is how this Conservative government, that no doubt gets lots of support in all sorts of ways from rich landowners/the land owning aristocracy, how it will take away the subsidies (tax payers' money) from these rich and powerful people. How will the Tories square that particular circle? And as for penalising them for not growing food. Well!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lynne You are correct and that's the problem we have. Hill farmers producing good quality produce and hardly making a living and large land owners growing nothing but pheasants for their rich mates to shoot and coining it in. Something has to change. In my mind, if you own good farming land it's immoral not to be producing food, so should we not be penalising land owners who don't actively ...
Good! But there maybe problems with traffic looking for alterative route. Elmgrove to Gatehouse, through the lanes and come out at the lower end of Port Road maybe.
There is an official notice on page 61 of this week's Dawlish Post from Devon County Council Highways Department. From 19/2/18 until (anticipated finish) 9/3/18 between the hours of 07:00 and 19:00 traffic will be restricted to travelling at 10mph on the A379 between Warren Road and Elm Grove Road. This restriction is to allow road resurfacing to take place.
I would agree totally that the way farmers (especially 'farmers') are given subsidies (via CAP) has a lot that I do not agree with. Am I correct in believing that via CAP, farmers and 'farmers' are given subsidies based on the amount of land they have and not on what they produce from it? Thus very rich landowners get a big top up even if the land they own is not in agricultural use? So ...
The problem is food is to cheap but thats what the customer demands so the supermarkets demand more for less from the grower. So vast tracks of land are put to more profitable use you just have to look at estates here in Dawlish that produce little or no food but grow pheasants for shoots and crops for cover and then collect huge amounts in subsidy.
Lisa is back again, so perhaps lisa could explain where plod has not. HOW CAN YOU ENFORCE OFF STREET CAR PARKS WHICH ARE PAY AND DISPLAY OWNED BY A LA? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IS SAID IN THE TMA 2004. HOW DO YOU DO IT? THAT IS THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM -----------------HOW DO YOU DO IT?
