Finding an affordable home is a near impossible challenge for young people and lower paid workers in many rural areas, and the conversion of homes into short term holiday lets is often blamed. The Government is going to establish a registration scheme for holiday lets and is to consult on whether setting up new short term lets should require “change of use” planning permission. So will it help? ABP is one of the countries biggest meat companies, slaughtering 600,000 cattle a year in the UK: it has 13 abattoirs here processing beef and lamb. We visit one of them near Ellesmere in Shropshire, which takes in cattle from 2000 farmers. Seafood and fishing businesses in Grimsby have faced disruption from the pandemic and from the impact of Brexit. Last month, one firm in the town announced it was pulling out of the UK altogether. Now, a seafood storage and transport company, has been awarded 5 million pounds from the Government’s UK Seafood Fund to expand and modernise its current cold storage facility. And as temperatures drop, we hear from one teenage farmer about her cold-weather jobs! Presented by Caz Graham Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
