HOT TOPICS
Public Sector Funding
The RSN demands fairer funding from Central Government who have historically and systematically underfunded rural areas.
Barriers to Access
The RSN campaigns to help rural residents overcome multiple access barriers to key services which includes poor transport and broadband.
Future of Rural Areas
The RSN is challenging often overlooked rural threats such as chronic underfunding, changes in population and diminishing resources.
Health and Wellbeing
The RSN wants to ensure rural communities have the same access to health care as is currently received in urban areas.
Vulnerability
Rural residents can suffer from Rural Vulnerability, due to a combination of factors relating to living in a rural community. Significantly rural areas have a higher percentage of the elderly population residing within them (which is increasing over time). Rural areas also suffer from poor access to public transport, further education and skills training, health and care services, poor connectivity and broadband access, low wages and higher than average house prices. Whilst these can individually affect everyone, the combination of factors in rural areas can create a particular Rural Vulnerability putting those residents at a disadvantage.
The lockdown of communities all over England during Spring of 2020 has exacerbated this situation which continues to worsen.
In 2019 The RSN began the development of an Annual Rural Vulnerability Statement which are available below with further information on the topic.
