We are getting well-organised internally as we prepare to work closely with local and national government. Our priority as a regional team in the coming weeks will be to get good quality information out to you our members quickly.
Keep in touch with us - the information you have may be vital
There is a real hunger for good quality information within Government right now about what is happening on farm. Please feed in any uplifting stories, your business or personal concerns and any local intelligence. Every piece of information helps at the moment.
The NFU Regional Office may physically be closed but the main office number is still open for any help required. Call 01695 554900.
