Commission for Rural Communities


All information relating to the Commission for Rural Communities (CRC) can now be found on the CRC website.

Please visit the CRC's website at www.ruralcommunities.gov.uk/.

The CRC provides well-informed, independent advice to government, and ensures that policies reflect the real needs of people living and working in rural England, with a particular focus on tackling disadvantage.

The Commission has three key functions: 

  • Rural advocate: 
    the voice for rural people, businesses and communities.
  • Expert adviser: 
    giving evidence-based, objective advice to government and others. 
  • Independent watchdog:
    monitoring and reporting on the delivery of policies nationally, regionally and locally.
