- Cheltenham CRC 2006
The 2006 report offers the latest definitive picture of rural England. Shows that last year over 105 000 people moved from urban to rural areas, continuing a pattern that has major consequences for the future of the countryside. Also reports that rural house price increases have again outstripped urban, that the number of low income households is growing, the numbers of key rural services is reducing, and that farmers' stress levels are growing. Covers rural England in evidence using the Rural and Urban Definition, living in the countryside, economic health, and land and environment. Highlights several areas where action is required: housing affordability, service provision, rural disadvantage, marginal rural economies, and the land-based industries. References.
