A bit rich for the farmers union to spout off on this subject. Farm workers in general have had to live on poverty wages for years although many were given rent free homes to compensate. The children of these employees have grown up with very little, and have little desire to stick around and indeed repeat the parents mistakes.
Mnay farmers now however do not have employees but use contractors.
We need to build affordable homes in all villages and disregard the views of the objectors many of which are interlopers. It is a fact now we have little work in the villages where we live and people accept they have to travel going 5-10 miles to work is now not an option and a little silly. The villages are not and never will be a place where only the coffin dodgers can live in peace , villages are for all and the building programmes put inplace will ensure this is the case.
