10/10/25: Illegal waste dumping in the countryside, Plaid Cymru, HS2 compulsory purchases
Farming TodayAvailable for 13 days
We report on the increasing amounts of waste dumped in the countryside and how to tackle it. As party conference season continues, we're hearing from most of the major parties on their farming and rural policies. Agricultural policy is devolved and with elections for the Welsh Parliament in May next year, Plaid Cymru's conference this weekend may well be seen as a launch for that election campaign. Farmers whose land was compulsorily purchased say they're frustrated that they still can't buy it back. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
