1. What's left, what's been done and what next? England's 2000 Rural White Paper: Town council activities and a survey of town clerks.

Author

Morris, Gordon

Subjects
*CITY councils, *TOWN clerks, *MARKET towns, *RURAL development
Abstract

The research discussed in this paper was prompted by the writer's interest in the roles of England's small country ("market") towns. It has two aims: first, to discover the extent to which the work programmes announced in the British government's Rural White Paper (RWP 2000) (DETR-MAFF 2000) are recognised by town clerks, and second, to find out what town councils are doing, either on their own, or with others, and to gauge the potential and desire that they have for a greater degree of autonomy. In both cases the data was gathered from an online questionnaire sent to town clerks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
