Cornwall: remote rural area


	Cornwall: remote rural area
	Causes Ageing population as warmer in winter as sea holds heat longer after summer, working age leave for jobs, housing and university Decline of older industries: Farming reduced (tech advancements- mechanisation, less profitable-supermarkets drive down prices, imports) Fishing reduced (quotas) Mining and quarrying reduced (imported, exhausted supply, mechanisation)	Effects Local industry forced to transition to tourism Issues are; seasonal jobs (25%), much done by chains (2/3 of profits leak out of area), U.K. Tourism declining (incomes 25% below U.K. Average), secondary housing (dormant in winter, local industry suffers in winter) 59 post offices closed Death of character, loss of services (medical care less accessible for older population), new developments don't fit, house prices risen No one moves to commute there as geographically remote so no more money comes into area Tried to improve by building university
	Overall summary Decline of industry led to loss of workforce and movement of industry to tourism which has been very damaging to Cornwall's character.
