Richard Younger-Ross stopped cosying up to the traditional media long enough to tell us about his Cider Petition to help the four cider and perry producers who are in his constituency. But let’s hear it from the man himself…
This week the Government’s announcement of a 10% increase in cider duty, with more to follow, is likely to have a serious impact on a traditional industry whose heart is in the West Country.
Teignbridge MP Richard Younger-Ross has said he will press the Chancellor to reverse this tax at the earliest possible opportunity and has produced a petition in support of Craft cider makers.
The petition can be found in the Cider Bar in Newton Abbot, only one of four bars left in the country, and also on his website – err, if you can find it give us a shout and we’ll put up a direct link. (Yeah, we found the link ourselves, despite asking RYR’s office, and here it is – sign the Cider Campaign)
(The guy’s also got a beer petition on the go… are you spotting a theme here?)
Come and enjoy Devon – book a hotel and get away!
