As part of Opportunity Vale of Evesham we looked at several villages in some detail, finding out what made some very proactive and others less so.  In doing this we mapped the communities, finding out what services were available, how people accessed them and how people found out about them.

We discovered a number of key issues that impacted all of our rural communities (please see here for more detail).  This enabled us to develop a model of key factors that make up a successful and strong rural community.
