The CLA in the North has welcomed news that rural communities are a step closer to getting up to a 5p per litre fuel price cut after the government’s rural fuel rebate scheme cleared the major hurdle of European Commission (EC) approval.
CLA North Regional Director Dorothy Fairburn said: “This is very good news for the rural economy in Northumberland, Cumbria and North Yorkshire, which are all set to benefit from the scheme.
“For too long, businesses in these areas have been faced with a double-whammy of having to travel further to the pump and then pay higher prices when they get there.
”This scheme will also go a long way towards helping struggling livestock and dairy farmers in the area, who are desperately trying to make ends-meet.”
