Farms in local authority onership
Dear Powys County Council,
I'd be grateful if you would be able to let me know the following:
How many farms are in Powys Council ownership under tenancy?
Assuming you have such farms, what the total area of such farms might be?
If possible a list of such farms.
This is purely for research purposes. Many thanks for your assistance.
