As many businesses across East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire continue to struggle with the rising cost of living we've been speaking to a milk supplier from Goole.

Anthony Raspin owner of AM Dairies is being impacted by price rises

The big increase in the cost of fuel has had a particular effect.

He told us:

"Wages have gone up, national insurance has gone up."

"The changes I'm going to have to make is to offer more and more".

"Hopefully prices will eventually come down for us."

"It used to cost me 80 pound per truck to fill up and now it's costing me well over a hundred."

"I've got 2 trucks and I've got to fill them twice a week and the raw prices of milk and other goods I supply is also going up as well."

"It's double trouble for me".

"To be realistic I'm just trying to go out and get more customers."

"Keep asking the question - Would you like a delivery, this is what I can offer."
