Priti Patel supporting rural communities in Essex
Witham MP, Priti Patel, visited the Rural Community Council of Essex recently at their offices in Feering to discuss support for rural communities.
Priti and Nick Shuttleworth, RCCE’s Executive Director, discussed the projects supported and managed by RCCE such as Neighbourhood Plans, affordable housing, and rural development funding.
Following the meeting, Priti said:
“The Rural Community Council of Essex does fantastic work supporting our rural communities and I was delighted to meet with them to discuss some of the projects they have been supporting in my constituency.
“It is important that we protect our green spaces and countryside and ensure that rural communities are more involved in local planning and development matters.
“I will continue to work closely with the Community Council and press for further Government investment to secure the future prosperity of our rural communities in Essex.”
Nick Shuttleworth, Executive Director at RCCE said:
“RCCE is a registered charity working to help rural communities secure a thriving and sustainable future. We really appreciate the interest Priti shows in our work and it was great to have the opportunity to discuss with her issues such as affordable housing, planning and social isolation that matter to people who live and work in the rural areas of her constituency and throughout Essex.”
