Revitalising Rural: Realising the Vision is a campaign led by the Rural Services Network to challenge Government on a number of policy areas that affect rural communities. It is due to be launched in Autumn 2020 and the RSN is working hard to develop a document that reflects the needs of rural areas along with a number of asks for Government. 

So far we have extensively consulted our members and here are our draft documents including the relevant asks of Government.
