Cambridgeshire and
Peterborough Rural Services Survey 2007
The results of the
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Rural Services Survey 2007
are now available to download. Please
click here to access the report.
The survey, which nearly every parish and
settlement with a population under 10,000 in Cambridgeshire
and Peterborough completed, requested detailed information
about local services. The comprehensive results will now be
used by Cambridgeshire ACRE to inform the future development
of community support services and lobby on issues of concern
to rural communities. They have already been used to lobby
Post Office Limited on the recent closure plans. Service
providers can use the results to influence the delivery of
public services in the county. Communities can use them for
lobbying, fundraising and planning their activities.
Our conference on 25th September, 'Revive
and Thrive - community-based solutions for rural services',
will look at the results in more detail and discuss the future
of rural services. Please see below for more details.
The raw data that was collected is also
