| Résumé anglais |
Since the early 1980s the UK utilities sector has been radically restructured through the privatisation of the water, energy and telecommunications networks. Each city and region now has its own unique patchwork of private, and often competing, utility networks. This paper examines a number of trends which indicate that there are disturbing socio-economic and spatial differences in levels of access to these essential utility services. The problem of fuel poverty has now been joined by the new phenomenon of water poverty and increasing concern about low levels of access to the telephone. These variations in access have important environmental social, health and economic development implications at the local level. These trends may force local authorities to take greater interest in levels of access to utility services which may stimulate new types of local policy response to privatised utilities.
