We need a strong Rural Voice!

 

I’ve just returned from the Rural Conference, organised by the Rural Services Network.

It was good couple of days, talking about broadband, housing,  council funding and elderly care. Our subjects in other words, and not areas where this Tory government is showing much competence. Here’s the programme.

There were three Lib Dem delegates at the conference.

That’s right, only three of us among a sea of Tories.
