#CluckOff - Say No to Factory Chicken Farms near Hay
Oppose the planning application for two poultry units in Clyro, one mile from Hay-on-Wye.
Why is this important?
Plans have been submitted to Powys County Council for chicken sheds crammed with 26,000 chickens within five minutes of Hay. We don’t want to see this happen. Ammonia from these units threatens to contaminate the River Wye and harm wildlife in our local area.
Everyone in Hay wants to support a thriving local farming industry. We will support anyone who wants to diversify their farming mix to ensure a more sustainable future – but not if the price is irreparable damage to our beautiful part of the world.
In the past year an exclusion order was put in place after a bout of avian flu at a similar unit in Fife. Think about the impact such an outbreak could have on our economy in Hay – no festivals, no shops, no school, no jobs. Please say NO to factory chicken farms near Hay. #CluckOff!
