The RUSTIK project aims to help Monmouthshire County Council understand the views of working-age residents about life in Monmouthshire.

We would like to hear from you if you are aged 16-44 and live, work, or regularly visit Monmouthshire.

The RUSTIK project is a partnership of universities, local government and civil society organisations, and is working in rural regions across Europe to understand the main challenges facing rural areas and smaller towns in securing a sustainable future. 

Monmouthshire County Council is a partner in the RUSTIK project and is working with researchers from the Countryside and Community Research Institute at the University of Gloucestershire to understand the challenges faced by younger people in Monmouthshire.
