Support payments worth up to £20,000 will be available to farmers across Cumbria and North Lancashire who have been affected by flooding to help restore damaged agricultural land, farming minister George Eustice confirmed.

The payments are part of a £40m Community Recovery Scheme announced by the Chancellor to help hard-working people in flood-hit areas following the record rainfall in parts of North West England, taking the total of government support pledged to over £60m.

Farming minister, George Eustice, said: “We understand flooding can have serious consequences for farmers and we want to provide practical support to those affected by last weekend’s unprecedented rainfall in Cumbria and North Lancashire.

”I am also pleased to confirm the RPA will be relaxing inspection requirements on farmers in the flood-hit areas so farmers can focus all their efforts on getting back up and running.”
