However, it is recognised that users may only be interested in specific topic areas, and hence the report is structured to enable simple navigation. It should also be noted that it is intended to produce a summary document in the near future. Policy Context 1.2 The Rural White Paper “Our Countryside: The Future – A Fair Deal for Rural England”, produced in 2000, has been the key policy driver for the rural agenda. It outlined the government’s aim to “sustain the distinctive environment, economy and social fabric of the English Countryside for the benefit of all” and included a new Rural Services Standard setting out minimum standards and targets for access to and delivery of public services in rural areas. 1.3 The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister’s (the Department of Communities and Local Government have now taken over responsibilities in this policy area) Sustainable Communities Plan is recognised as a secondary driver, although it should be noted that although it puts an emphasis on Government’s commitment to “renewing communities and reducing inequalities”, it has limited relevance to rural areas specifically. 1.4 A review of the Rural White Paper was produced by DEFRA during 2004 and consisted of three elements: a review of rural policy as set out in the paper; the development of an evidence base for rural policy and delivery; and an independent review by Lord Haskins. The review recognised that the Government needed to be more realistic about what it could deliver and emphasised the need to differentiate between the remote and more accessible rural areas. It also stated that Government couldn’t be the “main guarantor for all services but should take steps to sustain a viable, cost effective infrastructure, provide fair access to key services and ensure a policy framework that encourages enterprise”. This review reinforced Government’s commitment to provide a minimum standard of service delivery for all; however, it also put particular emphasis on the need to focus on those individuals who need public services the most. 1.5 The conclusions from this review fed into a refreshed Rural Strategy 2004 that set out the key priorities and actions to deliver the Government’s rural affairs agenda over the next few years. The Rural Strategy 2004 sets out three priorities for rural delivery: “Economic and Social Regeneration”; “Social Justice for All”; and “Enhancing the Value of our Countryside”. The second priority sets out the need to tackle “rural social exclusion …providing fair access to services and opportunities for all rural people”. Crucially, the Rural Strategy makes significant changes to delivery arrangements with greater devolution of responsibility and decision-making to the regional and local level. 1.6 Government Office South West (GOSW) was tasked with putting the strategy into practice and the South West Regional Delivery Framework was produced and submitted to DEFRA in June 2005. GOSW identified several key outcomes (to be achieved) including: “fair access to services, tackling specific needs of the most vulnerable” and “effective transport solutions for rural areas, allowing people and goods to get to where they need to”. 1.7 Set against this backdrop of national and regional rural policy, the Wiltshire & Swindon Rural Facilities Survey aims to provide accurate and consistent local evidence, facilitating effective planning at a strategic and community level. 6 Rural Facilities Survey 2005 7 Countryside Agency Rural Services Survey 1.8 Between 1991 and 1997 surveys were undertaken in conjunction with the Rural Development Commission (RDC), which played an advisory role to central government in developing policies for rural areas. The RDC produced a nationwide report that included data for Wiltshire so enabling comparison of Wiltshire with trends in rural England to be made. In 2000 the Countryside Agency took over this role and undertook a national survey. Coverage for Wiltshire and Swindon was only 60% complete. Wiltshire County Council decided to carry out its own survey to ensure 100% coverage and maintain continuity of the comparative database which had been built up since 1976. Consequently, the surveys were carried out at different points in time so no comparison of Wiltshire data with the national situation could reliably be made. History of the Rural Facilities Survey 1.9 Rural Facilities Surveys within Wiltshire were first undertaken by Wiltshire County Council (WCC) in 1964. Since 1976 the survey has been carried out at regular intervals – usually every three years – resulting in a comparative database for 250 settlements spanning twenty-nine years. However, in the current survey a total of 350 settlements are recorded. The previous version of this 2005 report was in 2001. The survey format has varied over the years depending on the information required to both assess changes in village facilities and prepare Structure Plan policies. The Survey 1.10 The Rural Facilities Survey seeks to ascertain the extent of services and facilities within the smaller settlements in Wiltshire County and Swindon Borough. Much of the data is gathered by way of a simple survey form asking for the number of a range of different facilities within each settlement.

I trust, after reading this short piece, you will wholeheartedly agree. Origins It seems a perfectly fair question to ask just why the Wiltshire Provincial Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter decided to select a white horse rather than say the bustard or cathedral spire or even Stonehenge as the most suitable symbol for the Wiltshire Provincial banner. Most continents, most societies can provide examples of the strange, the mysterious, that have teased and perplexed countless generations. One might include, for example, stone circles, ancient dolmens and burial chambers, ley lines, flying saucers and - today - crop circles. There is however one small area of the world that has been (and continues to be) a natural focal point for all of these examples on an almost extravagant scale. This is the region in the south west of the British Isles known as Wessex. To our list of curiosities we can add yet one more category dating from Neolithic times: those large and mysterious figures dominating our hillsides, carved in the chalk and often stretching in length or height to several hundred feet.
