Rural Isolation Across South Warwickshire Districts Introduction The needs assessment raises the issue that bus accessibility to local hospitals in Stratford‐on‐Avon District and in parts of Warwick District can be considered poor, and travel times can be over 60 minutes in rural areas. This report follows two previous reports which were produced by the

Warwickshire Observatory for Stratford‐on‐Avon District and Warwick District This report focuses on rural isolation and aims to highlight the Lower Super Councils which focused on achieving social inclusion across the two districts. Output Areas (LSOAs) which may be home to people considered to be the most

rurally isolated and also focuses on the key themes and issues which affect The Localities & Partnerships Service (Warwickshire County Council), Stratford‐ these people. on‐Avon District Council and Warwick District Council have jointly commissioned a further report with the aim of focusing on rural isolation across the South

Warwickshire Districts. Warwick District Council and Stratford‐on‐Avon District

Council both wish to review their approach to working with partner agencies towards achieving social inclusion across the rural areas of the two districts.

This report sits alongside the Total Transport Needs Assessment which has been produced as part of the Warwickshire Joint Strategic Needs Assessment process by the Warwickshire Public Health Team. The needs assessment aims to assess available transport and health data to ascertain the non‐emergency needs of the population. It is important to consider the key issues emerging from the needs assessment when looking to focus partnership work in the key areas of rural isolation which are highlighted in this report.

In rural areas, the Needs Assessment advises a clear need for voluntary transport services where users have disabilities (primarily mobility issues and visual impairments). It highlights that the West Midlands Ambulance Service

(WMAS) transported the highest percentage of health related users in general and Voluntary Action Stratford‐on‐Avon (VASA) reported a higher demand and transported on average more than double the amount of users from their district compared with all of the other voluntary transport services.

Rural Isolation Across South Warwickshire Districts Further reading that may help supplement this document is a new report published in January 2017 by Rural England titled ‘State of Rural Services 2016’1. The report aims to assist policy development and debate for the benefit of rural residents and businesses.

It highlights issues around future service provision in rural areas, for example bus services and bank branches, with reductions in bus services affecting access to a range of services. It also highlights the increasing number of older people in rural areas and the pressure it puts on GP surgeries and adult social care services. The authors also highlight the fact that the third sector or community volunteers are more likely to be found in rural areas and are playing an increasing role in service delivery.

On a positive note the report highlights the benefits of an older healthier population where retired people in good health living in rural areas make up a large proportion of community volunteers engaged with providing community run services.
