Summary: 

This report highlights findings that nearly half of rural residents feel unable to influence local decisions directly affecting their lives. The Government is committed to devolving powers and resources down to local level in order to give communities greater control over the decisions that affect their lives. This is all the more important in rural areas where communities are typically smaller and more dispersed.
