The Government has now confirmed that they will continue to fund new Countryside Stewardship Agreements which are signed after the 23rd November up until the point that Brexit takes effect. Where these agreements run beyond the exit from the EU the required funding will be met by the government. This means that funding will be made available for Countryside Stewardship agreements with a start date of 1st January 2017.

If you require help with these matters, please contact the Tow Law office 01388 730095.
