Rural Community Council (Leicestershire and Rutland)
A member of Rural Community Action Network.
The RCC, which was formed in 1924, is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee.
It is part of a network of rural community councils which are located in each county, all involving themselves exclusively with rural issues.
Our aim is to help those who live and work in rural Leicestershire & Rutland. We are involved with a wide range of projects and issues which are increasingly becoming more important as the quality of rural life and the services provided for communities deteriorate.
Through this web site we hope to keep you not only better informed about the range of services we provide, updating you on topical news and information, but most importantly providing you with a way of having direct and easy access to us.
