Remote Communities

These were:

• work can be harder to find, particularly given high cost travel
• further to travel to JobCentres, work capability assessments etc
• high cost of groceries and often limited choice of goods or supplier
• high cost of fuel for heating and for transport and little choice of supplier
• problems with fulfilment for online shopping such as high cost delivery or refusal by retailers and couriers to deliver to certain areas
•  poor access to internet, whether due to low broadband speeds or distance to facilities like libraries
• poor mobile phone reception
