The rural economy really does matter. Here in the North East and Cumbria – the True North – it is even more important given the size of the rural economy and its wider impact. Following on from a very successful conference, held at Hexham racecourse, we are calling for firm action by government, both local and national to ensure we have the policies and support in place to ensure a prosperous future for our rural communities

Our rural sector is currently facing a very uncertain future. We at True North see the vital contribution this sector makes not just to the regional economy but to the national wellbeing. Across the North East and Cumbria, the true north, our rural businesses are a key driver for growth.
Our first rural economy event will focus on
- where the rural economy is likely to be in ten years;
- the key drivers for the sector;
- how the rural north can contribute further to the regional and national interest;
- what should national Government, regional authorities and devolution do for the long term vitality of our communities.![]()
