The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has announced that, provided there is no change to the disease situation, the Foot and Mouth (FMD) protection zone in Surrey will be lifted on Wednesday.

All movement restrictions in England, outside the FMD Risk Area, will also end. However, the Surveillance Zone will remain in place until 5 November at the earliest.

Deputy Chief Veterinary Officer Fred Landeg, said: 'Throughout the outbreak we have acted on the evidence, keeping controls proportionate to the disease risk.'

The FMD movement restrictions will end on Wednesday, 17 October.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
