Anne Marie Morris MP with her latest column – ‘Facing the climate change challenge’

Rural areas of the UK feel left behind by the levelling up agenda. Most government funding is supposed to be ‘rural proofed’ to recognise the increasing costs associated with the geographic size of rural counties like Devon, and the sparsity of communities -which also tend to have an above average aging population. But as any head teacher or primary care doctor will tell you, it doesn’t work and rural areas have for many years been underfunded. We need investment in our schools, our hospitals, our broadband, our transport infrastructure and in social care.
