I am delighted to learn that Norfolk has been awarded a further £11.5million from the Government’s Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) scheme – which will support an additional 55 zero emission buses in our county.
Having grown up on my stepdad’s farm and previously worked as Parliamentary Officer for the NFU, I have always had a strong connection with our agricultural industries and the environment. Farming and all of its associated sectors play a key role in not only our Norfolk (and wider Eastern) economy, but also in the preservation and enhancement of our beautiful rural landscapes and way of life.
That’s why I have always strived to speak up for the sector, promote British standards and encourage a greener, cleaner, healthier society and model of life.

I was delighted to be approached by Climate Hope Action In Norfolk with the opportunity to participate in a cross-party panel event titled ‘Climate change is here – what now?’ – which is taking place THIS Friday (24th February 2023) in Wymondham.
Having grown up on my stepdad’s farm and previously worked as Parliamentary Officer for the NFU, I have always had a strong connection with our environment – and been a big advocate for work that enhances our beautiful landscapes and precious habitats.
I was delighted to be involved in Norfolk Farming Conference today – speaking to via video clip to those gathered about Agri-Tech and the enormous opportunities this exciting and fast-growing field will provide, and already provides, to the farming sector.
I welcomed the opportunity to be involved this morning in the latest urgent briefing held on the matter – this time by the Rt Hon Lord Benyon (Minister for Biosecurity, Marine and Rural Affairs) and his DEFRA officials, including the UK’s Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Christine Middlemiss.
