  • Case Studies from Across Rural England of How Rural Communities Have Worked Together During Lockdown Rural Services Network – Rural Communities Pulling Together
    Case Studies from across Rural England of how rural communities have worked together during lockdown Rural Services Network – Rural Communities Pulling Together RURAL COMMUNITIES PULLING TOGETHER This booklet details the Case Studies that were provided to the Rural Services Network during the lockdown period of Covid-19 (2020). Organisations were encouraged to respond to three questions: • What initiatives has your local rural community set up in response to COVID-19 national lockdown? • What national initiative would help your organisation do things better in your rural area? • Any other comments? Not all respondents answered all the questions, detailed in this booklet are the answers provided by organisations. Some answers have been edited or amended for reasons of Data Protection and to comply with our constitution. Councillor Cecilia Motley, the Chair of the Rural Services Network said: ‘It is heartwarming to see how our rural communities have come together to support their most vulnerable residents in this difficult time. However, our communities raise a number of important issues which need attention and support from Government. Our rural communities should not be left behind.’ 2 Rural Services Network – Rural Communities Pulling Together Contents: East Midlands Page 4 East of England Page 15 North East Page 31 North West Page 34 South East Page 38 South West Page 53 West Midlands Page 71 Yorkshire & Humber Page 80 3 Rural Services Network – Rural Communities Pulling Together EAST MIDLANDS REGION Parish / Local Group: East Drayton Parish Council Region: East Midlands What initiatives has your local rural community set up in response to COVID-19 national lockdown?

Specifically, the work explored the scale of housing demand driven by economic growth in the West Midlands between 2006 and 2026 and how this compared with housing supply numbers flowing from regional planning work. As such, the SQW/CE work is one of a number of inputs helping to identify how alignment in emphases between the draft West Midlands Regional Economic Strategy (WMRES) and Phase 2 of the partial revision to the West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy (WMRSS)1 can deliver a balanced housing solution for the regional good. 1.2 The work developed assumptions and a model of the relationships between the economic and social drivers for net new housing demand at sub-regional level. Figure 1-1 below presents the interplay of the causal links involved, which the model worked to characterise.

Sutton Coldfield lies further to the west on the other side of the M6 Toll motorway and A38. The area contains pockets of ancient woodland, a few small Scheduled Monuments and a SSSI at Middleton Pool adjacent to the Grade II* listed Middleton Hall. The broad area makes a considerable contribution to four of the five purposes of Green Belt: - Checking the southern sprawl of Tamworth; however, the significant boundaries to the south, east and west of the area limit the role of this portion of the Green Belt in preventing the sprawl of Cudworth, Kingsbury, Piccadilly and Sutton Coldfield and preventing the merging of these neighbouring towns in the long term.
