Impacts of austerity on local services (2014) - Local Authority Responses
The Rural Services Network have carried out their first survey using the Sounding Board established this year of Councillors from their Local Authority membership and also Parish Councillors from the Rural Services Community. The same survey was sent to both Sounding Boards so that it would be possible to compare differences in results between the two groups.
32 Local Authority Councillors responded to the survey on the impacts of austerity measures on local services.
The Local Authority report which emerged from these responses can be downloaded here
