So far, the following 17 county areas have submitted agreed land acquisition and management schemes:

  • W. Midlands

  • Lincolnshire
  • Dorset
  • Wiltshire
  • Somerset

In some of these areas the agreed scheme has been submitted subject to formal council ratification during February. My regional directors have been in touch with the rest and most of the remaining LAMS are expected within a month.
