“There has been a notable increase in the appreciation of, and interest in, our countryside in recent years.

 

Our aim is to manage increased accessibility to our countryside estate while protecting the very things that make the country parks, spaces and greenways so attractive.

 

And with a growing emphasis on stopping climate change and supporting nature recovery, our new vision for the countryside estate reflects the important role it can have for local communities, the local economy and for the environment.”

 

Victoria Wilson, Cabinet Member for Communities and Culture

 

Reasons for the Decision – To consider a new vision for the Countryside Estate and proposals for an in-house management model that will focus on maximising the benefits of the estate to our communities and environment.

 

Decision – That the proposed approach for management of the countryside estate and associated delivery plan be supported.
