A properly managed countryside

Unless HMG get their act together there will be no rural areas left . They need to properly address issues such as allowing farmers to manage their land so that they can have a sensible income and therefore to manage their land properly in the interest of us all. Villages must be able to serve their communities and by so doing help country residents to be sustainable. So far HMG have only paid lip service to there issues much of which has not worked such as the Sustainable Communities Act, now in law, yet so many post offices, pubs and village shops have closed. Also to curb the countryside access right which is curtailing land owners ability to manage their land to which the public really do not need to access. There is plenty of countryside for the leisure activities in which people wish to take part.

In giving these comments it is my way of saying how I want to see Britain’s rural areas to be by 2020.

Thank you.
