Celebrating our history and heritage This area is beautiful place to live in and we should be proud of it. At the moment, this area gets almost no funding to promote, celebrate and enhance our heritage, countryside and fantastic historic churches and buildings.

Living in the countryside is a choice we all make but it doesn't mean we should not receive our fair share of council spending. It doesn't mean we deserve less than others.

I want to see more investment locally, to promote our country walks, to advertise the amazing local businesses we have and to celebrate our churches.

I think it's time for a change and thats why I'm asking It's time for investment in our community protect our heritage for your support at this election, however you normally vote.
