Please note that as part of the recent CLA restructuring the counties of the East Midlands region have been divided between the new CLA East region and the new Midlands region. Consequently, existing news releases from the East Midlands are now only available on this website as archived articles. Members based in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire are now part of CLA East and should go to CLA East News for releases in their region. And members in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland are now part of the Midlands and should go to Midlands News for releases in their region. Lincs farmers urged to cash in on funding A rural watchdog is urging farmers in 50 Catchment Sensitive Areas (CSA) across the country, including Lincolnshire, to take advantage of additional funding now available towards improving facilities and water quality. The Country Land and Business Association (CLA) says up to £8000 is now available to each successful claimant but applications must be made by 30 April 2010. Grants will be prioritised by catchment target areas and whether farmers have received large similar grants in the past.
The types of projects eligible include covering livestock yards and slurry stores to resurfacing gateways, feeding areas, and installing sediment ponds or drainage works.
Stamford based CLA East Midlands Director, Helen Woolley, said: "Farmers should try and get grant funding towards improving their water course management. As water pollution policy is becoming more rigorous and penalties are expected to increase, this is too good an opportunity to miss." |
