evidence: Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, with funding support from the Department of Communities and the Public Health Agency, have worked in partnership with researchers at Ulster University to investigate fuel, transport and food poverty across the Fermanagh and Omagh District. Specifically, this research investigated the spatial patterns of fuel poverty (a household’s inability to keep adequately warm at a reasonable cost), transport poverty (affordability of transport) and food poverty (insufficient economic access to an adequate quantity and quality of food to maintain a nutritionally satisfactory and socially acceptable diet) to identify if rurality increases the risk of fuel, transport and/or food poverty in FODC. The study aimed to provide food, fuel and transport poverty maps in order to inform poverty alleviation policies and programmes and targeted interventions at District Electoral Area level to maximise impact and ensure those most in need are supported.
