Please sign this petition to get Herefordshire council to reconsider their decision to serve notice to 15 farm tenant families and sell off the councils farms. After a decision made in December by Herefordshire council, notices to quit have been served to 15 farming families in Hereford, with 45 families affected by the councils plans for sale and potentially many more future farming generations.  Herefordshire Council’s Cabinet decided at its meeting in December to have a planned disposal of its farms estates. Assurances were given to tenants that they would be looked after and gave hope that there was potential for new landlords to keep the tenants on. Promises that they have backed out on. Tenant Farmers Association Chief Executive George Dunn said “The Council is steamrolling ahead with no regard for the impact of its actions on farm tenants and with no clear plan. The TFA has been trying to engage with Cllr Harry Bramer, the member responsible for County Farms, but so far he has been unwilling to meet us. I last wrote to Cllr Bramer on 10 January asking for, at least, an indicative timetable for the planned disposal which has yet to be approved by the Cabinet. He has not had the courtesy of responding and left the County Council’s land agents to deliver the news about the Notices to Quit both to us and the tenant farmers affected." Staffordshire county council couldn't be in a more opposing position than Herefordshire, with the council stating that tenant farming is a key contributor to the council's finances. Please sign this petition to raise awareness of Hereford councils plans and urge them to reconsider. Councillor Harry Bramer please reply to both the TFA and treat tenants who are losing their livelihoods, fairly by standing by your promises and reconsidering the notice served to them.   Media & News articles: Herefordshire Council to sell off Tenant Farms - 4th December 2015 BBC West Midlands - Hereford Herefordshire council criticised for handling of tenant farms - 1st February 2016 Hereford Times Council accused of 'misleading' tenants on estate sell off - 2nd February 2016 Farmers Weekly Video above - 16th February 2016 - BBC Midlands Today
