Simon Jupp, MP for East Devon, invited the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak MP, to meet with local farmers from across East and Mid Devon in Sidbury today.
The East Devon MP has made supporting local farmers one of his key priorities and hosts regular roundtables alongside the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) to ensure the sector’s voice is being heard by the government.
Almost 90% of people who responded to a recent public consultation on plans for a multiuse path between Sidbury and Sidford have backed the idea.
The proposed walking and cycling route would extend from Sidford along the western side of the A375, crossing Ottery Lane with a new cycle/pedestrian crossing, and then connecting to Hillside, near Sidbury.
