London Mayor, Boris Johnson will meet a delegation of farmers and food producers from Kent on Monday (15 December), led by Damian Collins, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Folkestone and Hythe.

The meeting with Rosie Boycott Chair of London Food, and James Cleverly member of the London Assembly for Bexley and Bromley, will try to work out how the Mayor and Greater London Authority can help farmers and food producers from Kent, and other counties around London, supply the capital with food.

Speaking ahead of the meeting, Damian Collins, said: “We are delighted to have this opportunity to meet with Mayor.

“In tough times, it is important for us to do all we can to support local producers.

“Kent earned the title of ‘Garden of England’ because of the quality of its produce, and London has always been one of its biggest customers. I would like to see all leaders and politicians working together to help promote local food, and help smaller and independent farmers and producers."
