FARMERS wanting to lease agricultural land on the outskirts of Hartlepool still have time to submit bids.
The land at Hart Smallholdings, which stands next to Hart Village, is available on a six-year lease agreement after the previous lease came to an end.
The land is being made available by Hartlepool Borough Council.
The grade 2 tp 3 agricultural land is split into two separate lots, with 119 acres of arable land and 29 acres of pasture land.
The land is being marketed via tender on the six-year lease basis and council chiefs said there was a ‘high level’ of interest.
Councillor Christopher Akers-Belcher, chair of the Council’s Finance and Policy Committee, said: “This is excellent farming land in a good location with easy access to the A19.
“We have had a lot of interest so far in the two farming sites but there is still time for anyone who is interested.”
Tenders close at 12noon on Friday 17 March. For more information contact Hartlepool Council on 01429-523228 or email estates@hartlepool.gov.uk
