stakeholder sub-groups update Gildernew
Minister Michelle Gildernew MP MLA has met with the chairpersons of the Rural
White Paper stakeholder sub-groups.
The five stakeholder sub-groups have recently commenced work looking at rural
issues and challenges within the five themes: Rural Vision, Rural Governance,
Rural Services, Rural People and Rural Places.
Speaking after the meeting the Minister said: “This meeting is another important building block in our Rural White
Paper plans. It is a clear illustration of my determination to progress this
issue as quickly as possible. Now that the stakeholder sub-groups have
commenced work, I will watch with interest the issues and challenges affecting
our rural communities which emerge from their work. The chairpersons of the
sub-groups have provided me with progress reports today. I remain confident
that the sub-groups will make an important contribution to the delivery of a
successful Rural White Paper.”
“It is important that momentum on the
Rural White Paper is maintained and I look forward to hearing further updates
from stakeholders on measures which they have identified which will help to
ensure the future sustainability of our rural areas.”
