IOC Leader, Cllr Anthony Powers, requested the Tory Cabinet of Herefordshire Council rescind the eviction notices they issued to council smallholding farmers in January 2016. He also informed them that the TFA (Tenants Farmers Association) had informed him that the Local Government Ombudsman had agreed to investigate Herefordshire Council’s decision to sell the farms (contrary to their own Scrutiny and Overview Committee’s advice) because this decision may be a potential case of maladministrationon. Watch this space. Our farmers are not beaten yet.
