Union backs polytunnel fight

The National Farmers Union has pledged £10,000 to support Herefordshire growers in their judicial review of the decision by Herefordshire Council to require planning consent for polytunnels.

The NFU will be working with growers from Herefordshire and British Summer Fruits who have also pledged £10,000 in taking the case forward.

A small meeting is to be held between representatives of all three parties to take the next steps towards the lodgement of the review.
