Support rural pubs.

Use them to provide lunchtime meals for village schools and lunch clubs for the elderly.

Endorse the "pub is the hub" campaign.

Look to give rate incentives for pubs offering wider services such as community meeting rooms, school meals, running a shop/ post office form the premises.

Improve rural transport- investigate creating shared mini bus taxibus routes, introduce post bus services, more frequent bus services.
