I am so proud of all that the Moorlands has to offer to those of us who live here and to the visitors who support the local economy.  Our amazing scenery, welcoming restaurants, pubs and cafes and our fantastic High Streets and markets.  One of the worst things for me during the Covid-19 crisis has been seeing our previously thriving town centres deserted.  So it is great to see people out and about again.
