Rural Fair Shares

Rural_Services_Network_logoRural Deprivation is nothing new, but in the recent tight financial climate it can often be rural areas that suffer most. I don’t believe that is fair.

So, with many Parliamentary colleagues from all shades of political opinion, I have been fighting for fair shares in the shires. The effort is also backed by the Rural Services Network, an organisation established  to safeguard public services in the countryside. rural_deprivation_map Some progress has already been made in persuading the Government to provide additional assistance. But far more needs to be done.

That is why I have helped the Rural Fair Shares group  to assemble a nationwide petition with sufficient signatures to make the Government sit up and take notice. The signatures we gathered were way above the average.     Rural Services Network has both Sedgemoor and West Somerset councils among its active members. This is a campaign that may take time to win but it is well worth the effort.

Can I help?

As your Member of Parliament I will do my level best to assist constituents - but part of the purpose of this site is to help people help themselves. Often the answer to a problem is out there somewhere - the trick is to know exactly where to look. If you move around the website you may find useful pages with relevant links.

However, if you draw a complete blank or fail to discover a solution to the problem you face, then by all means consider calling me in. Should you need to get in touch for any reason, please send me an e-mail or call 01278 458383

Remember that I am just an MP, not superman. I don't do miracle cures. I have no power to intervene in legal matters or to interfere in the process of local government. But I do have some influence and am able to make representations on your behalf. And though I cannot guarantee to solve things I always try.
