Winning the Rural Vote - A Roadmap to Rural Success

40% of constituencies are rural. These votes will be tightly contested at the next election, and the answer for political parties to harness this vote is simple:

• Understand the challenges they face
• Take action to support their potential

The Rural Services Network, as the national champion for rural services has put together a series of asks which we want to see the political parties adopt in their manifestos. The challenges rural communities face cannot be tackled in isolation, our communities need homes they can afford, with good jobs, connectivity to enable businesses to grow and access to public services that are fairly funded.
