A benchmarking report about England\u2019s smaller seaside towns was published in 2010. The report presents a range of statistical evidence on socio-economic conditions and compares the figures from small seaside towns with regional and English averages and with the averages for larger seaside towns.<\/p>\n
The report is a direct counterpart to a benchmarking study of England\u2019s larger seaside towns<\/a>, published in 2008. The report focuses on 37 smaller \u2018seaside towns\u2019 (or resorts) rather than all smaller places around the coast. All these towns have a population below 10,000 which, according to official definitions,\u00a0qualifies them as \u2018rural\u2019 settlements.<\/p>\n
