Living in the countryside can mean your political voice is often not heard; business and governments have often neglected the rural area in favour of focusing on densely populated urban areas. However in the pre-election promises, rural broadband was a priority and we are starting to see pledges turn into actions towards achieving this. The importance of a successful broadband network should not be underestimated, it allows people who live remotely an opportunity to use dating services such as Kissinggates.com. Our focus is bringing together single farmers into a portal and subsequently a large database of women follow who are looking for farmer wants a wife.
Many rural areas have little or no broadband access which is particularly problematic for businesses who rely on modern technology such as broadband in order to develop their business, this is very relevant to farmers who now have to submit many documents online to manage stock movements, claim subsidies etc. A recent report identified rural parts of the country should receive priority when it comes to the roll out of super fast broadband, which will come as excellent news for many single farmers.
This is something we have long campaigned for and rural broadband has and will continue to be a major issue in the countryside, for business to thrive in these areas there needs to be a real commitment to improve our core UK infrastructure, which will in turn increase business activity in the countryside. It will also help to keep the under 30 generation which rely on broadband for communication in the countryside.
Farming is one of the oldest industries, in the bible Jesus is described as a shepherd and ever since we have moved from wondering the countryside to settling in towns agriculture has evolved into a fast moving, highly innovative industry where science meets tradition.
However the rural community is currently feeling some pressure to evolve socially, farming and agriculture have traditionally embraced change- generally it has led to lower costs and less work on the farm. However there is a greater degree of resistance to social change in the rural community. Living and working in the countryside is very difficult, it can be regarded idealistically however the day to day life can be lonely and boring. That is why it is important to provide services so people can find partners and country friends. Kissinggates.com solves some of the problem of social dating, and finding a partner. We found during the recession a dramatic increase in peoplestaying in leading to a mass closure of rural pubs. These difficult times meant more and more people wanted to share the burden of their problems, and that is where Kissinggates.com came in, a country friend finding service. It is free and safe to register on Kissinggates.com and the home of rural dating.
