Rejected petition Campaign Against The Leighton Farm (Welshpool) Super Dairy
More details
We would like the Government to stop the proposed development of a "Super Dairy" for over 1000 cows in the small village of Leighton near Welshpool, Powys, Mid Wales. Concerns and objections are based on:
- the close proximity (less than 100 yards) and thus threatened closure of the only primary school and community centre in the village;
- the detrimental effect on the health of the dairy herd and the local residents
- the visual impact/increased traffic and pollution of a dairy farm that is nine-times larger than the UK average;

This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.
The decision to allow or oppose the dairy is a matter for Powys council and a devolved matter in Wales. It would not be appropriate for the UK Government to intervene in such matters.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
