THE rural business advice line service will be operating 15 hours a day, seven days a week to help businesses in the two counties hit by the effects of foot-and-mouth.
The helpline - 08009 755355 - is being operated jointly by the Small Business Service and the Business Link network and is being supported by the regional Rural Response Team. It will be based on a similar initiative that has been running in Shropshire.
