After a couple of weeks ‘off’ my diet, and Christmas officially over – it’s time to get back on track and start counting the calories again.

Greens back campaign against Nocton mega-dairy

Posted January 4th, 2011 by sharon. Comment (0).

The Green Party has reacted strongly to proposals to construct a 3,770-cow dairy in Lincolnshire. Nocton Dairies last month submitted proposals for a “mega-dairy” on Nocton Heath, sparking protest from animal rights and sustainability campaigners.
