BREAKING: In a major Freedom of Information project @SkyNews has obtained dozens of Brexit Impact studies conducted by local councils around the United Kingdom

The Brexit files show a picture of councils exasperated by central government and scrabbling to make contingency plans.

SHETLAND: This study from Highlands & Islands shows the % if loss making farms under different scenarios. Not a great look for WTO - 86% of sheep farms making a loss. The study expresses concerns about falling land prices as well.

EAST SUSSEX: Concerns about a Social Care crisis being compounded in East Sussex (we found this in lots of places) - 11% of their Social Care workforce are EU nationals and they already have a staffing shortage

BRISTOL: Eyebrow raising concerns of social unrest in this council study “as neither Leave or Remain voters feel their concerns are being met.”

PEMBROKSHIRE: This extraordinary chart from the Welsh coast shows the 18 ways the council believe Brexit will impact the area. 17 out of 18 are Negative

And the one positive? “Reduced demand for services if population reduces.” i.e. ‘Everyone will move out’
