Nik Harwood - Young Somerset
"As a representative of a National Park, I find the RSN to be an invaluable resource of information, data and ideas for understanding the complexities of rural life, economy and society. As a network, it allows me to learn about work being carried out in other regions, which inspire the way I work with the communities and businesses in my area. The annual conference is always highly informative, well-organised and has a wide range of topics and expert speakers."
David Andrew Boocock - Dartmoor National Park Authority
"Really worth taking part, got so much out of the sessions. Would highly recommend to fellow councillors."
Cllr Jill Makinson-Sanders - East Lindsey District Council
"The RSN continues to provide an excellent service, particularly in keeping "rural" front and centre of government policy development. Its weekly news updates are worth being a member alone, never mind all the other services they provide."
Andrew Tordoff - East Riding of Yorkshire Council
