Event hosted with the RPA for Farmers and Rural Businesses across West Oxfordshire

Great to host a roundtable event with the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) for farmers and rural businesses across the constituency, in Warwick Hall Burford recently.

The event was an important opportunity for farmers and rural businesses to discuss with the RPA the difficulties they have been facing accessing payment schemes and also an opportunity to discuss how these schemes can go further.

It was an important and constructive evening. I very much look forward to holding further events like this in the New Year.
