“In 2015 Staffordshire really put its name on the map as a top location as a sporting visitor destination. We want to build on those successes – bringing more visitors into the county for the events; spending money, boosting local business and job creation and equally as importantly leaving a legacy of improved fitness and healthy lifestyles for Staffordshire people. We have many natural attributes which make us a leading area for sports and leisure. Attracting more visitors and staging prominent events can only by good for Staffordshire.”
