RSN are establishing a new Rural Market Towns Grouping

The size of this group has gone past the 100 member milestone with members coming forward from across all rural areas of England.

It is vital in our view that Rural Market Towns and larger Parish Councils in England have a grouping across which to network and exchange best practice. It is equally important that they establish a national voice to get their views and concerns across to Government from the Market Town perspective.

RSN Chief Executive Graham Biggs said ‘we have made a really good start with this initiative. Market Towns across England have in many areas been key in the Lockdown period. They have shown how vital they are to their communities. However they have to have a national voice and they have to have their say. We are sure this initiative will assist in giving them that’
