Shropshire councillor in renewed calls for a rural strategy
A Shropshire councillor is leading fresh calls for the government to produce a national rural strategy.

The Rural Services Network's Annual National Rural Conference saw more than 120 representatives of rural authorities, service providers and countryside groups, vote unanimously to strengthen calls for a rural strategy.
Shropshire councillor Cecilia Motley, who represents Corvedale, is chair of the Rural Services Network.
She said she was hopeful that the renewed calls would lead the government to take action.
