Survey 2007 (English Version) It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Dr Bill Edwards,
Co-director of the Wales Rural Observatory. Over several decades, Bill
dedicated much of his research energies towards rural Wales, making
significant academic and policy contributions to the fields of rural
community development and rural housing. Bill played a significant role
in developing the Rural Observatory, overseeing the work programme in
Aberystwyth and playing a major part in many of its research projects.
He will be greatly missed by his colleagues in the Rural Observatory. RESSG SEMINAR December 2005 Researching Rural Wales: Emerging evidence from the Wales Rural Observatory The seminar provided a presentation and update of the work of the Wales
Rural Observatory, including key findings from the projects completed
to date. The presentations made can be found on this website at:
