Remote Workers Move to Villages

A growing number of villages are offering incentives to attract people who work from home.

Some are providing cheap housing, while others have built shared offices with fast internet.

Local councils hope that new residents will help keep schools and shops open.

Many villages have seen their populations fall sharply over the past few decades.

Early results suggest the schemes are working, with several hundred families relocating so far.

Critics, however, warn that rising demand could push up house prices for local people.
