A document for consultation

This document has been prepared by the Rural Priorities Group, a partnership consisting of the Isle of Wight Economic Partnership, the Isle of Wight Rural Community Council and the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The document aims to:
• Provide a factual basis to support the rural-proofing agenda 
• Provide the Island Research and Information Group with an evidence base 
• Support commissioning and neighbourhood profiling 
• Support future funding applications with rural-specific facts

Prior to launching we would like interested parties to examine their areas of interest and let us know about any of the following: 
 
Are any facts incorrect?
If so, please provide sourced evidence to aid our correction process

Are there any facts which should be included but have been omitted?
If so, please provide sourced evidence

Any other comments that you feel are of use
