 Country matters for Declan |
Declan's election rally stops off this morning at Northallerton in the Yorkshire Dales.
It's a beautiful part of the world - but life there isn't always as easy as it seems.
While wages are low, house prices are high - driven by the desire of outsiders to buy a little piece of heaven in the Dales.
We'll hear from farmers - and from small business people - about the problems of living in the countryside.
Declan was in the Dales, where he was at the Wensleydale Railway in Leeming Bar, North Yorkshire.
The Railway is owned by local private investors who lease the line from Network Rail.
