Commission for Rural Communities

The Commission for Rural Communities (CRC) was established as a division of the Countryside Agency on 1 April 2005, and became a non-departmental public body on 1 October 2006, following the enactment of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006.[1] The chairman of the commission was Stuart Burgess.

On 29 June 2010 DEFRA secretary Caroline Spelman announced the abolition of the Commission as part of the 2010 UK quango reforms.[2] It was formally abolished on 31 March 2013.[3]
