Response to the session: Rural Britain - a 2020 Vision

Simon Berry
Spacer Simon Berry

I don't want to give too much away about this session otherwise it will spoil it! So what can I do to make sure you come?

Well. The session will be interactive, and I guarantee that everyone who attends will be able to have their say (and I mean that).

Together we will all start a process that I hope will influence rural policy and planning over the next 10 years.

Please leave your comments and questions below.
