Accessibility and care in a rural area - the case of Tewkesbury Borough
- Author:
- MOSELEY Malcolm
- Journal article citation:
- Research Policy and Planning, 14(2), 1996, pp.19-25.
- Publisher:
- Social Services Research Group
In rural areas, the limited availability of appropriate public transport and the increasing geographic concentration of many service outlets, pose serious difficulties for those social service client groups which exhibit low levels of car ownership. Considers the transport needs of elderly and disabled people and carers in a largely rural district of Tewkesbury. It also establishes the range of transport potentially available to them, whether in the statutory, commercial or voluntary sectors. A holistic approach is advocated, both in researching such a need and provision and the planning and management of strategies to improve accessibility. A central dilemma is addressed, whether to have central co-ordination along 'brokerage' lines or the devolution of decisions to local managers?
