West Midlands Euro-MP Liz Lynne has expressed relief that tests on animals for Foot and Mouth at Woodhouse Farm in Solihull have proved negative.
Liz Lynne said:
"This will be great news for local farmers and residents. Now the temporary restrictions have been lifted life can get back to normal after a distressing past two days.
"Nevertheless the fifth case of Foot and Mouth confirmed in Surrey last week should serve as a reminder that we should remain vigilant. As our local farmers know, it is far better to have a false alarm like at Woodhouse Farm than an outbreak that goes unnoticed until too late."
