Rural Intelligence

Community Lincs’ close contact with rural residents and communities provides it with an excellent understanding of current challenges.  Its networks offer valuable routes to gather intelligence, which can be used to inform and influence district and county councils, strategic partnerships and agencies. 

This work on behalf of Lincolnshire’s rural communities is essential as their needs can be overlooked when compared to geographically focused areas of high deprivation in urban areas.  Rural needs also lose focus through the mainstreaming process that often fails to recognise the distinctive challenges of delivering effective solutions in rural localities. 

Using this information Community Lincs has also been able to develop new approaches to rural concerns, highlighted through this activity.
