Information services in rural areas -- access and delivery

D. Clark and K. I. Unwin

Telecommunications Policy, 1979, vol. 3, issue 3, 250-251

Abstract: In the UK, considerable interest has been expressed in the extent to which telecommunications could help to improve the accessibility and provision of information services in rural areas. Information services are typically provided by local and central government departments, voluntary advice agencies, and by a wide range of professional, financial, public utility and transport undertakings. It has never been particularly easy to visit service outlets in market towns, but recent changes in the organization and location of information services, together with the withdrawal of many public transport services, have caused a significant deterioration in physical accessibility. The authors summarize their research project on 'Telecommunications and information services in rural areas', the final report of which was submitted to the UK Department of the Environment in October 1978.
