I was delighted to present Dave Hull, who runs both the Blanchland Shop and Post Office, and The Old Village Shop in Edmundbyers, with his Countryside Alliance Awards prize. Mr Hull won a Rural Hero award in recognition of his community contribution, and it was an honour to present him with his award.
The Countryside Alliance Awards, nicknamed the 'Rural Oscars', recognise the skills and produce, tradition, enterprise and people who do outstanding work in their communities.
