The organisation provides representation on infrastructure, lobbying, utilities and political issues specifically within a rural context, covering the South-East region of England.

Recent issues include: planning, farming and rural employment, transport & infrastructure, broadband and mobile telecoms, affordable housing and, unsurprisingly, the impacts of Brexit on rural businesses; specifically, continued access to the EU labour market.
