The penalty for fly-tipping has got even tougher.

Local authorities will have the ability to issue on-the-spot fines of up to £5,000 to fly-tippers.

Our message to fly-tippers couldn’t be clearer: there will be a price to pay.

"It's really important sometimes to slow down and take some time to think about what you're doing." ⌛

Workers in the agriculture sector are 21 times more likely to have a fatal accident compared to the national average - according to the latest HSE figures. So, when working on-farm, every second truly counts.

This harvest season, as CLA President Gavin Lane says, remember to pause and take a moment, to ensure that you don't become a statistic.

We offer our congratulations to Prime Minister Andy Burnham.

If growth is to reach every postcode, rural communities must be part of the plan.
We look forward to working with the PM to create jobs, attract investment and unlock opportunity for the rural economy.
