Do Yate people want to see Foxhunting make a return?

Now the South West is predominantly blue in colour, are we set to see our large fox hunting communities return to live hunts?

I wonder if it crossed many voters’ minds when they put their ‘X’ in the box, as to whether they agreed with all party policies.

Yate is surrounded in beautiful countryside that was once used on a regular basis by some of the largest foxhunting packs in the country.  Are we to see this return now we have a large majority of Conservative MPs in the surrounding area who support the lifting of the foxhunting ban?

Steve Webb MP for Thornbury and Yate has made it clear in the past that he is anti-fox hunting, and voted to ban the sport but, many MPs in our surrounding areas and even our Prime Minister believe the ban was a mistake.  

Nick Clegg, our Deputy Prime Minister, was once anti-fox hunting but has now agreed that there should be a “free vote” on its possible return to society.  

Avon and Somerset have some of the oldest and well-established hunt packs in the country and keen to have the ban lifted on a sport they believe should never have been banned. The MFHA (Masters of Fox Hunting Association express that “Hunting with hounds is the natural and most humane method of controlling the population of all four quarry species.”
