Richard Holden MP talks Rural Shows and Fairs.
In the chamber, Richard explains that:
"North West Durham hosts a diverse range of excellent local rural shows and fairs and I was delighted to visit the Eastgate Sheep Show last month - the first time it’s been held since I was elected.
"I hope to see many of my constituents at the Wolsingham Show, Stanhope Show & Chapel Show (Weardale Agr Society) later in the summer too.
"Given the important role that rural shows and fairs play in the lives of our towns and villages but also in terms of tourism too, across the country, I’ll be pushing for a debate on them in UK Parliament to ensure the issues they face are raised and responded to."
