Mid-Tier Water Capital Grants Scheme 2019
Water Capital Grants are available to clients under the Mid-Tier Scheme until 31st May 2019.
Water Capital Grants are available to farmers and landowners under the Mid-Tier Scheme operated by RPA/ Natural England. They are payable for works designed to improve water quality by reducing the amount of silt, nutrients or pollutants entering watercourses and groundwater aquifers.
These grants present an opportunity to obtain public assistance for works which not only enhance water quality, but improve fixed equipment on farms, at a time when it may otherwise be hard to find the money for this. Many S & P clients have benefited from these grants over the past few years. They have had the double satisfaction of knowing that they are helping the environment as well as improving their farms
