Chair’s Update

Tony Pexton OBE

I am delighted to have been chosen to chair the Rural Affairs Forum, and recognise the tremendous challenge which we face in rural areas. In more normal times there are many issues which need addressing from a rural perspective, but with the current, and continuing, financial pressures on all, there is an even bigger challenge in front of us to ensure that we can identify, and act on, the many concerns which face the rural communities.

I am looking forward to getting to know the individuals and the organisations involved, and working together to improve our lot.
