The Countryside Alliance has produced a briefing note in response to the Queen's Speech. The Government plans to introduce up to 30 Government bills, many of which will impact the countryside and rural communities. The Alliance's briefing note, sent to MPs and Peers, focuses on digital connectivity, rural crime, business support and animal welfare. We are broadly supportive of the Government's ambitions, however we do have concerns with respect to how the Government intends to fulfil its ambitions, and the consequences those actions may have to the countryside.
