A RURAL business roadshow rolls into Settle on Monday April 8 and is aimed at people wanting to set up their own company, or small and medium-sized firms keen to expand or diversify.

The roadshow has been organised by Business Link York and North Yorkshire, whose representatives will join officials from The Prince's Trust, local banks, Inland Revenue, Defra and Craven District Council to offer advice.

The event at Settle Memorial Hall, takes place between 11am and 7pm, and is held as part of Yorkshire Forward' s continuing programme of rural recovery following the foot-and-mouth crisis.

There will be another roadshow at Hawes Dales Countryside Museum on April 16 between the same hours.
