520 _aUses evidence from the Countryside Agency and Rural Community Councils on the provision of six key services within England's villages to assess the difficulties of delivering high quality services through widespread outlets in sparsely populated rural areas and the future of those services. Addresses the background of and challenges to rural service delivery including competition from supermarkets and other large retail outlets, customer desertion, and as a consequence of local authority and government policies. Looks at the role of information and communication technology, volunteers and the community and the need for both better business initiatives and state intervention. References.
