UK’s withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit)

Argyll and Bute is home to residents from different European Union (EU) countries, who all make an important contribution to our area

The UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020.

Argyll and Bute Council does not decide Government policy surrounding Brexit.

We want to do all we can to help people and businesses in Argyll and Bute get the information they need about decisions that may affect them, and any support required. 

• UK Government updates and a checker to get a list of actions for you, your business and your family 
• A support and advice service covering the rights of EU Citizens in Scotland
• Business advice and support:
• Scotland's enterprise and skills agencies are focussed on helping businesses operate after Brexit and maximise growth opportunities in international markets.  Information and guidance can be found on the Scottish Enterprise Operate website
