County looks to raise cash from farm sales
0Staffordshire County Council has announced plans to raise £20m from the sale of 16 farms in its ownership.
The council is looking to raise the cash from “non-core” parts of the estate, to invest in health, care and infrastructure.
Mark Winnington, cabinet member for economic growth, said: “Unlike some other local authorities, over the years we have invested in our farm estate to keep it viable and to maximise efficiency and value.
“As part of that, we regularly review our holdings and we will continue to invest in the future.”
