The Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which is designed to jumpstart the economy through building, will threaten our limited safeguards for nature and stall wildlife protection. The Bill could also affect local communities with issues such as more sewage in rivers, increased flood risk, and loss of valued woodlands. The Liberal Democrats have a long history of promoting nature-based policy.

Richard Foord is theMember of Parliament for Honiton & Sidmouth Another setback for farming I was surprised and outraged to see the government’s Sustainable Farming Incentive scheme close to new applications last week. It is a move that has left some local farmers in the lurch. The no-notice closure of the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) is the latest blow for farmers in Devon, who have in recent years faced down a raft of ministerial decisions that have made their lives tougher.

I am really proud of our fishing heritage here in East Devon, says Richard Foord MP. (Image: Richard Foord MP) We are very fortunate to live near some of the most stunning coastal waters in the country. The Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site includes Lyme Bay, which is protected, thanks to its conservation zone, which spans the seas from Beer and Seaton to Lyme Regis. I am really proud of our fishing heritage here in East Devon.

Richard Foord (Image: Liberal Democrats) Pressing the Government for decent broadband Good news - the Government has re-opened its Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme for parts of Devon, after two years of limited availability. Local homes and businesses in poorly served rural areas, with speeds of less than 100Mbps, may be eligible for grants of up to £4,500 to help get a faster broadband network installed.
