It should be possible to engage, through email, some 100,000 people across rural areas in England (a near doubling of our current arrangements each week.)  This would assist massively in providing the opportunity for recorded views and comments on specific topics. Having networked Parish Councils and Schools the Group would now like to also establish strong links across Village Hall Committees, Parish newspaper editors, village shopkeepers, Local Trustees and interested local people.

A coordinator establishing and anchoring these arrangements would cost in the region of £5,000 a year.
