Earlier this year the planning application filed by Nocton Dairies Limited to Lincoln Council for the intensive dairy farm was withdrawn due to public pressure as well as one of the three companies behind the idea pulling out. Yesterday a press conference was held in London and the remaining supporting companies announced their intention to press ahead with the UK's first "mega-dairy". The new planning application states that plans will be scaled back by 50% offering cows a bit extra outside space, however, they still wish to keep up to 4,000 cows in grass free conditions, which according to 38 Degrees as well as this being bad for cows it is also bad for climate change and other farmers.
38 Degrees are asking for as many people as possible to sign their petition to block the intensive dairy farm going ahead. Don't just sign it, forward to your friends to sign and ask them to pass it on as well. This is very important as the businesses backing this planning application are doing everything in their power to make it happen so we need to do the same to STOP it.
