Save Rutland

The Government's English Devolution White Paper proposes to abolish two-tier authorities and small unitary counties like Rutland County Council to create larger unitary county councils with a minimum of 500,000 people.

My public meetings on the future of Rutland made it clear that we will not accept having our identity stripped from us - our ceremonial status must be protected at all costs.

We have six weeks to make clear to Government we are Rutlanders and intend to stay as such and put a stop to the Government stripping us of our identity.

Please do spread the word and encourage your friends, family and neighbours to add their names to my #SaveRutland petition by visiting and supporting our wonderful Rutland pubs to sign the petitions.

Participating pubs include:

  • The Admiral Hornblower, Oakham
  • The Black Bull, Market Overton
  • The Boot Inn, South Luffenham
  • The Exeter Arms, Barrowden
