Farmer hits back over flood work on protected river

Farmer hits back over flood work on protected river >More in John Price © Richard Stanton A Herefordshire farmer who used a 16t bulldozer to repair soil erosion along a flood-prone stretch of a protected river has responded to claims that he acted unlawfully. John Price, a potato, cereal and beef farmer, carried out the erosion work on a mile-long stretch of the River Lugg in Kingsland, near Leominster. He said he undertook the work, with the support of the parish council, because the Environment Agency (EA) told him he was in breach of his responsibilities as a riparian landowner to prevent further erosion of the river banks.
