Farmer to join protest

NEWHAVEN farmer Roger Foxwell will be among farmers campaigning at Newhaven Harbour on September 22 to call for tighter controls on illegal imports.

Mr Foxwell, of Foxhole Farm, and other members of the National Farmers Union want increased restrictions and checks to combat the threat of disease, such as foot and mouth, and swine fever, and for travellers to be made more aware of what they can bring safely into the UK.
