At the moment the type of exit – whether through a negotiated withdrawal agreement or a no deal exit – has not been decided.

Craven District Council is working with partners to ensure that the impact of the exit on our residents and businesses is minimised.

Guidance and advice

To help you to find out more about Brexit (the popular term for the process of the UK leaving the EU) the UK Government has provided some general information, guidance for EU citizens and their families who reside in the UK, and advice for businesses on how Brexit may affect them and any EU-born employees.

The guidance is regularly updated as more information becomes available.
