Looking forward to hearing more about the @BritLeadingEdge Manifesto today and taking part in discussions. A strong rural voice is vital to ensure we can raise the challenges rural areas face with decision makers to get lasting change. #ruralfairfunding

We're calling on @RishiSunak @hmtreasury to level up between urban and rural in next week's #Budget2021! @EnglishRuralCEO @RSNonline @BritLeadingEdge
Per person, government capital spending is 44% higher in urban areas than it is for rural areas. Rural communities are being left out in the cold. We’re joining with @RSNOnline, @BritLeadingEdge and @EnglishRural to call for #FairerRuralFunding
