COUNTY CHAIRMAN WELCOMES POLITICIANS TO HIS FARM

Montgomeryshire voters will get the chance to quiz the constituency's parliamentary candidates at an open political forum organised by the Farmers' Union of Wales' county branch office.

The event will be held at Tynllwyn, Llanfair Caereinion (SY21 0HE), home of the FUW's county chairman, Arwel Rees, at 11am tomorrow (Friday, April 30).

Representing their parties at the event are: Heledd Fychan (Plaid Cymru), Glyn Davies (Conservatives), Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrats), David Rowlands (UKIP). Labour declined the offer to be present at the hustings.

FUW county chairman Arwel Rees said: "Even though the majority of farming issues are now dealt with by the devolved Welsh Assembly Government there are still a number of important rural issues being determined by Westminster.

"In a rural constituency like Montgomeryshire people have strong views on issues such as fuel duty, supermarket power, rural post offices and broadband availability.

"I hope the event will give farmers the opportunity to quiz the parliamentary candidates on their party's agricultural and rural policies."
