What are the consequences of small towns ignoring the theme? |
Ignoring the importance of social networks or regional connections can result in:
- Reduced sense of community spirit or town identity;
- Loss of economic investment in the town centre or local businesses due to a reduced sense of ‘membership’ in the local community;
- Increased sense of social exclusion linked to a sense of competition for local resources; or
- Inability to attract visitors or investment in the town due to a general lack of resources.
