Thank you very much for an extremely interesting week packed full of data and thought-provoking information. The resource is invaluable.
I attended the Rural Transport session. I thought it was very well planned and insightful. As a Councillor for a rural area on the edge of a town, a lack of public transport leaves our residents stranded, and is a detriment to the town as a whole, slowing economic activity by not bringing customers, workers and students from the outer villages.
Thank you for a very well organised Conference.
I was really glad to have caught the DfT session from Fergus O’Dowd, on their connectivity tool, at this morning’s seminar. We will be keen to follow up on that, as it aligns with our aspirations around active travel.
It was also really good to see a transport session in the session on housing, as sometimes we can end up being a bit monocultural in how we try to divide up all things rural when really rural is all things.
Great event, my colleague and I are already planning an event to invite our two MPs. I took on board the comment – you must engage. Both our MPs are new – and we are planning a Rural Community Engagement event to involve residents and officers and hopefully our two MPs. They need facts and figures rather than emotions.
It’s good to know we have strength in our numbers. Well done RSN for bringing this together. Much appreciated.
Thanks to all for enlightening me in the issues faced by rural communities.
