Stuart wants to unleash rural prosperity by engaging with local businesses and communities, securing investment and reform to unlock local growth, and raising the profile of South Shropshire's industry.
South Shropshire is full of potential. As your MP I will work closely with the Council and the Government to unlock this potential and unleash rural prosperity across the constituency.
There is so much to champion in South Shropshire. We have the extraordinary Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (now called 'Natural Landscapes'), and the tourism this attracts for our local economy. The historic market towns, from Church Stretton and Bishops Castle, to Clun and Ludlow, to Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock, each have their own unique attraction and beauty.
The Conservative Party will always prioritise improving prosperity, seeking to support and enable the right economic environment for every business to thrive. Rural prosperity is about providing opportunity, development and growth for the rural economy. With our fantastic farms to the thriving local breweries, coffee shops and restaurants in the towns, as well as tourist attractions like the stunning Ludlow Castle, South Shropshire is already full of optimism for the future.
In England alone, the countryside contributes £250 billion to the economy. Supporting the rural economy is vital to growing our national economy. That is why the Conservative Government has already made hundreds of millions of pounds available in grants such as the Rural England Prosperity Fund, the Platinum Jubilee Village Hall fund or the Community Ownership Fund.
There is always more we can do, such as improving digital connectivity, adapting planning rules and increasing access to local transport. With the right investment, we can make sure that South Shropshire continues to be a fantastic place to live and work.
As your Conservative MP I commit to:
Listening to what you need for your business to thrive;
Supporting the fantastic opportunities in South Shropshire locally and in Parliament;
Delivering the funding and support that will unleash rural prosperity across the constituency.
