@bathnes Great work by Tim but reporting public footpaths on https://t.co/krqgavmyaf not possible. Please can this be added as a function? Have tried reporting this broken bridge at ST 5616 5764 on FP CL23/30 on the otherwise excellent Report-it page

"Some said we were mad. We said, 'remember our purpose'." Words spoken by our @EnglishRuralCEO after we took on a project in Somerset to rescue 'The Old Rectory' from dire straits: https://t.co/BRZFtHpXPn #ruralhousing #CommunityIsWhy

Yesterday, we attended the @WoE_RDP event at @AldwickEstate to celebrate the projects which received LEADER #grant #funding within the West of England.

There were a huge mix of projects - #farm diversifications, village shops, cheese producers and a winery.

The Lib Dem Council is also introducing a clear commitment that every decision the council makes will have a Climate Emergency Assessment. The Council can not afford to ignore it further

@SMCommission Powerful report but.. in 2017 SM rpt stated "the new social mobility coldspots in our country are concentrated in remote rural or coastal areas and in former industrial areas". The 2019 report has no reference to rural and 1 to coastal #ruralproofed?@LordsRuralEcon @ACRE_national

[Chris Head @RuralChris]

A powerful and wide ranging conclusion from @LordsRuralEcon as to why a Rural Strategy is essential for the viability and future of rural communities. Enquiry showed how all parts of rural life are interlinked and all Government depts are culpable for delivery #ruraleconomy

[Rural Economy Committee @LordsRuralEcon]

Successive govts have underrated contribution rural economies can make to UK: it’s time for a strategy for the #ruraleconomy. Find out more about our report out now https://t.co/VyRj6oq2yh
