You investigated the commuter village of Millbrook as part of your human geography fieldwork. Your primary enquiry question was: To what extent has counter-urbanisation changed the services and character of Millbrook?
Your fieldwork findings were that 28 of 40 questionnaire respondents commuted to a nearby town or city, 26 said that recent housing development had changed the village's character, and a traffic count recorded 118 vehicles between 8:00 and 9:00 on a weekday compared with 54 vehicles between 12:00 and 13:00 on a Saturday. Land-use mapping showed that the village still retained most of its traditional local services. Your overall conclusion was that counter-urbanisation had substantially changed the village's residential character and traffic levels, but had changed its services only slightly; therefore, it had changed Millbrook to a moderate extent.
