We will present a detailed annual statement on the state of rural services in England harnessing local rural experiences.
Local input into this area of work is massively helpful.
Rural Review of Public Services Report
Periodically we will produce a report detailing the position of a range of rural services. The trends and variances will be identified. In the summer, we will ask all members to input their view on the position locally. The information collected will be collated with national statistics to establish the periodic position statement. The statement will bring together the latest rural research and statistics with local knowledge from service providers to provide a unique insight incorporating new policy ideas. We want to put rural services under a national and local spotlight and this we believe is an effective way of achieving that aim. It will complement the Commission for Rural Communities “State of the Countryside Report” now to be produced every two years.
Rural Review of Public Services
This is the first time the RSN has produced a Rural Review of Public Services Report and, as such it marks both a milestone for the network and a foundation for its future. We feel this will be a very significant exercise that will constantly track how rural services are working, how they are threatened, how they are changing and how they are evolving.

As this service evolves we seek to relate this periodic review to the position in relation to Local Member areas so that members can compare their local circumstances with the position we detail across England.
