Rural Development
Meriden, Bickenhill and parts of Knowle wards are largely rural in nature. If you currently run or are thinking about starting a business located in a rural area in Solihull there are a variety of ways you can access information and support.
We are a key partner of the Rural Forum for Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire. The forum aims to raise the profile of rural issues across Coventry, Warwickshire & Solihull through a programme of events and activities.
To find out more about how the Rural Forum can help you or your business, you can visit their web-site at http://ruralnet.org.uk/
Further information about support for Rural Businesses and communities can be found at:
- Farm Business Advisory Service - Coventry & Warwickshire Business Link
- Department for Farming and Rural Affairs
- Countryside Agency
- Royal Agricultural Society for England
- England Rural Development Programme
