Laying miles of cable along the Fylde coast threatens tourism, says a local Reform UK councillor.

Keeping with the watery theme, Phillip Mart's farm supplies trout to rivers, reservoirs, and fishing clubs all over the UK.

He says his work at Dunsop Bridge Trout Farm near Clitheroe, Lancashire, is a "wonderful way of life and a great passion".

"But trout farming isn't as big as it used to be mainly because we are getting older and the job gets heavier as you age," he explains.

He says costs are making it harder to operate.

"The electricity costs have quadrupled in the last 12 months, and you always have to prepare for disease too. Feeds costs are also a challenge."

While the average farmer might be male, there's plenty of women like third generation farmer Amy Shaw who play a very active role.

She's been helping out on the family's dairy farm in Blackburn since she was a child.

"I use to bottle milk and doorstep deliveries because it's in your blood, it's what you do," she says.

She loves tractors and has learned to drive them by watching her dad on the job.

"The moment Dad realised I could drive one he set me rolling and last year I managed to rake a whole field before he'd even finished explaining what I had to do."

On whether she has been embraced as a woman farmer, Amy says: "Some people are set in their ways, but others love the fact I do it."
