In September 2018, alongside the Agriculture Bill and policy statement, the Government published an \u2018Analysis of the impacts of removing Direct Payments\u2019. This provided an overview of the potential impacts to different farm types and sizes of moving away from direct payments and introducing a new system of public money for public goods. <\/p> <\/p> Direct payments are arbitrary payments based on land area that tend to favour larger land owners rather than smaller family farming businesses.<\/ins> In England we will phase out direct payments during an agricultural transition, giving time for farmers to adjust. Phasing out direct payments will free up money so we can reward farmers for delivering public goods, including environmental outcomes and animal welfare<\/ins>. Outside London, only Oxford City Council is considering the establishment of an ultra low emissions zone. Oxford City Council has received £50,000 for a feasibility study for a zone. It has also received £122,500 for city-wide communication programmes to support achievement of zero-emissions delivery freight, and £128, 500 for testing of low cost Zephyr sensor packages to compare with current sensors and improve data.<\/ins><\/p>"}
