I grew up here - and love our countryside, rivers and village communities. I worry about climate change, about the loss of biodiversity, about pollution and flooding. But I’m clear we have to address those challenges without putting even more pressure on households’ finances and undermining our prosperity.
I’ll continue to campaign to make sure we don’t compromise our food security by losing our productive farm land to solar farms. And I’ll press Thames Water, the Environment Agency and landowners to sort out the pollution and flooding of our rivers and streams.
