Jonathan Davies MP Serving the people of Mid Derbyshire
The weather was much better for the third day of my big walk across Mid Derbyshire, which was good as it was a busy day filled with lots of walking and meetings. I started in The Settlement, seeing the Moravian Church in Ockbrook before crossing the fields through to Spondon’s Bluebell Dairy.
I spoke with Rosemary, Geoff, and Oliver, the third generation of the Brown family running the farm, about a range of topics. I have written to the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, and am looking into ways that I can support their business.
I travelled to Chaddesden Wood where I met with Heather, who is a volunteer from the Friends of Chaddesden Wood. I enjoyed the beautiful ancient woodland, before seeing the historic Breadsall railway station that closed down in 1968.
Finally, I finished the day in Little Eaton going to Bouquet Wine Cellar – a fantastic bar with a wide variety of wine on offer that isn’t sold anywhere else. I then met with representatives from the Campaign for Real Ale at Shiny Brewery, discussing a wide range of issues affecting the pub industry.
