Arguably building strong communities where the positive resources and efforts of the whole community can get behind development projects is the best way to achieve regeneration.
The article entitled ‘Fun rural communities can blossom through active social and community network building‘ gives a light hearted but concerned account of barriers to building strong communities and makes a call for the support and encouragement of those who who rise to this tough challenge.
If you know of successful rural community workers it offers to give publicity to their achievements.
Hi Rob, I know you’re interested in rural issues – I work for Farmers Weekly and wonder if you might, therefore, be interested in taking a look at my Field Day blog which also deals with the countryside. Best wishes, Tim.
Hi Tim
I read some of your articles and enjoyed them at

although it took me a while to find them.
Particularly liked Farmer Frank. He reminded me of a couple of characters in the Brendon Valley on Exmoor.
