• Delivering full digital connectivity to the countryside by 2025.

After the candidates have informed us of their position, we will inform members and supporters what each candidate's position is.

The next Parliament must take rural issues seriously and support our rural communities. It is crucial that we know who we are voting for, and that when elected they will stand up for the countryside in Parliament.

Here at the Countryside Alliance we are seeking to inform members and supporters, so that they can make an informed choice about candidates and make sure their voices are heard.
