Government have published guidance for round 2 of Slurry Infrastructure grants before applications open in November.

Changes include:

• Increasing amount of storage that can be applied for;
• Accepting applications for slurry seperators with other storage measures;
• Accepting applications for covering for existing stores;
• Adding option for concrete stores;
• Introducing option for landlords to underwrite grant funding agreements.
