Rural Areas Set for Renaissance?


This might seem a very optimistic statement given the doom and gloom that surrounds the UK and European economies at the moment, but I do believe there are a number of factors that give cause for a positive outlook.Nationally, there are a number of initiatives that have raised the prospects of rural areas seeing more resources being allocated as government seeks to rebalance the economy. Firstly Defra have just announced the creation of 14 Rural and Farming Networks. These would have direct contact with government, meaning they would be able to directly shape future rural policies. Networks representing different areas of England would identify and feed back local issues and concerns straight to the government, in order to make policies more rural-friendly. They would make a direct link between rural areas and the government, creating new opportunities to develop better and more targeted policy.Secondly the government is to review the formula that helps decide how much money local authorities receive to provide rural services. The pledge is contained in the government's response to a consultation on proposals enabling councils to keep a share of business rates they collect rather than paying them to Whitehall. Published on Monday (19 December), the response will be seen as a boost for rural local authorities who have long campaigned for a fairer funding deal from central government.

The department of Business Innovation and Skills have just published a report on what types of support businesses favour - surprise surprise its human contact rather than websites or call centres. The report can be found at www.bis.gov.uk/assets/biscore/enterprise/docs/r/11-507-research-into-business-support-channelsGeorge blogged “Interesting speech from David Cameron this weekend. “Enterprise is not just about markets, it’s about morals. We understand that enterprise is not just an economic good, it’s a social good too.”
