Farmers Guardian podcast: Labour's Daniel Zeichner answers farmers questions on right to roam

The Labour party has been clear it wants to give more access for people in the countryside if they came into power at the next general election.

Shadow Farming Minister, Daniel Zeichner travelled to the Peak District to hear concerns raised by farmers and to explain how he sees the policy working with the farming community, not against them.
