| East Midlands Rural Framework 2010-2013 |
|
| In 2004 Defra published the Rural Strategy and one requirement stated that each region should hold a consultation to highlight the important priorities in their area. The original Rural Action Plan which was published prior to 2004 was out of date so emda decided the hold the consultation to develop a new Rural Action Plan.
A steering group was formed and the updated Rural Action Plan was published at the beginning of 2007 with annual progress reports being coordinated through EMRAF in 2008.Significant changes in the economy have taken place since the document was originally published, so in early 2009 it was felt there was a need to establish if the document was still fit for purpose. This resulted in the formation of a task and finish group and it was decided that the document needed a new title and a complete re-write rather than just a refresh. The four new priorities for the East Midlands Rural Framework were agreed as follows:
Sustainable and Inclusive Communities (Including Housing)
A Thriving Rural Economy
Quality Services Accessible to All
High Quality Rural Environment
An electronic copy of the Framework can be downloaded below. If you wish to receive a hard copy of the document please contact Lynn Hage EMRAF Communications Officer on 01623 727600.

| Broadband News |
We have recently developed a new section of this website to bring together information that will support those with an interest in rural broadband. The broadband section can be accessed via the heading on the left hand tool bar and
includes real examples of how other rural communities have managed to find ways of getting broadband to remote areas. There is also access to information on funding opportunities. The Broadband resources page has various sections containing useful information such as awards, events, policies, papers and useful websites. A new Latest News category has recently been added to the resources section which contains up to date news articles about rural broadband.
