Rachel Evans - Countryside Alliance Wales

Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus iawn I chi gyd! Mae ei’n manifesto nawr yn FYW. Our manifesto is low LIVE. #Senedd2026 countryside-alliance.org/wales-election…

Just about to go live with Olly Hides for @BBCRadioWales discussing the ban on greyhound racing in Wales and the knock on effect for #horseracing

The Government's move in Westminster could well be reciprocated in Wales, Welsh Labour have repeatedly noted their dislike of game shooting. Wherever you are in the UK, if you are not a CA member, join now and be part of the opposition to this culture war in the countryside.

The Countryside Alliance has launched a new interactive rural crime map, giving rural communities across the UK a new way to highlight the reality of crime in the countryside and help build a national evidence base for change. Explore the map here: google.com/maps/d/viewer?…

The government continues with its full frontal assault on the countryside…these disastrous proposals are a major blow to the economy and conservation. gbnews.com/politics/labou…

🔥The heating oil crisis serves as a much needed reality check for the anti-wood burning stove brigade.

Today Welsh Gov announced an independent call for evidence on gamebird release in Wales. We look forward to submitting evidence when called

@CllrAledT @ConRuralForum @LizzieHacking Gwych Aled, da iawn ti

Truly honoured to take on the National Chair of the @ConRuralForum. @LizzieHacking was a formidable force in reshaping the organisation. I look forward to working with our members to make sure rural policy is top of the agenda, and hold Governments of any colour to account.

The BBC has focused on statistics released by the Countryside Alliance which reveal most Welsh councils rely heavily on imported poultry products in school meals.

Welsh Ministers were advised against a ban on greyhound racing by civil servants and told that the argument was based on “anecdotal case studies”. Yet they still press ahead just because they needed one Lib Dem MS’s vote. Truly the worst of politics bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Pleased to be able to support the Labour Rural Research Group’s report on rural poverty. Great gathering of over 20 MPs at today’s launch

Looks like the government is going to address the anomaly of hugely inflated heating oil and LPG prices which affect 1.5m people, mainly in rural areas. This is good news and not special pleading, but a recognition that these people are not protected by the energy price cap.

A little warning in there to the anti-wood burner brigade. Reality check.

'It is a very serious crime.’ Director of External Affairs at The Countryside Alliance explains why rural homes are being targeted for oil thefts, following the Iranian crisis causing a spike in global oil prices.

Happy Mother's Day to all the farming mums. My late mum was a farming mum too, how the hell did she cope with the two of us?! And we had a milking herd. So many great memories! At least she had one easy child ;-)

@Shot_fox Mine too!!! My biggest regret with my wood burner is not having bought one with a water boiler behind it as I wanted to do but my plumber put me off!

Here we go again. You will have to take my log burners from my cold dead hands.

Pleased to @JeremyClarkson covering our recent @CAevs investigation which found that, in some council areas, Chinese and Thai chicken accounted for more than 99% of chicken served to Welsh schoolchildren ⬇️

Plans to switch off @FreeviewTV could leave rural communities behind. 📺 Many countryside households still rely on terrestrial TV where broadband is slow or unreliable. Read more and share your views here: countryside-alliance.org/news-content-t…

Rising fuel costs are once again hitting rural households hardest. 💸 The Countryside Alliance has written to Energy Secretary Ed Miliband urging urgent action to support households, farms and businesses facing soaring heating costs. Read more 👇 countryside-alliance.org/news-content-t…

The government are choosing to legislate against the countryside, rather than for it. Rural communities and businesses need support, not a culture war. Make sure you’re signed up to the Countryside Alliance. Help protect the rural way of life.

‘A warning shot before Christmas was fired when ministers unveiled their animal welfare strategy – only to end up with a massive backlash over the predominant focus on trail hunting…does Sir Keir fancy a repeat of all that again?’ ⬇️spectator.com/article/trail-…
