Local Authority Membership

The RSN gives local authorities a stronger voice on the issues that matter most to rural communities. As a Special Interest Group of the Local Government Association and Secretariat to the Rural Services APPG, we help ensure rural priorities are heard by key decision makers nationally.

Membership is priced by rural population and gives elected members and officers access to:

• Weekly news bulletins on policy, rural initiatives, and Parliament
• Monthly funding digests to support local projects and community bids
• Monthly updates on rural health and care
• Quarterly insight on rural housing and the economy
• Access to online seminars and the National Rural Conference
• Opportunities to share best practice through events and media channels
• A voice in Government consultation responses
• Research, analysis and rural policy insight to support decision-making

Sparse local authorities also benefit from tailored financial analysis that strengthens local evidence and supports more effective national campaigning. Our work has helped secure improvements between provisional and final local authority funding settlements for rural areas.
