Foston Pig Factory, Derbyshire
UK Company, Midland Pig Producers (MPP) is applying (application CW9/0311/174) to build an indoor pig factory farm on a green field site near the village of Foston, Derbyshire. If the plans are approved it would be one of the largest factory farms in the UK, containing 2,500 mother pigs (sows) and around 25,000 pigs, with 1,000 going for slaughter each week.
Please help us reach our target of 25,000 objections – that’s one objection for every pig to be confined inside this factory farm.
Object via Derbyshire County Council:
If you don’t want to see massive US-scale pig factories entering the UK, then please object by registering your opposition to the plans on this online form via the Derbyshire County Council website.
