  • WALKING with OFFA Summary Recommendation
    Committee and Date Item Shropshire Hills AONB Partnership 7 February 2012 9 WALKING WITH OFFA Responsible Officer Clare Fildes, Development Oficer e-mail: [email protected] Tel: 01588 674094 Fax 01588 674099 Summary This paper provides members with a summary of the recently completed phase of the Walking with Offa project in the Shropshire Hills, and will be supplemented at the meeting by a brief presentation. Recommendation The Partnership is recommended to note the information provided and offer comments. Background The project was funded principally from a ‘Natural Assets’ grant (Advantage West Midlands funding linked to the environmental economy, administered by Natural England). This was a joint project with the Wye Valley AONB, but only Shropshire Hills activity and outputs are described here. The staffing elements of the bid were not accepted, and due to the winding up of AWM the timescale for implementation was brought forward. This meant that the whole project outputs had to be delivered in 18 months rather than the 30 months planned with no additional staff resource, and this has been very challenging. However the project has been very successful, with some high profile new activity, and there is some continuity with the Walking with Offa LEADER co-operation project described elsewhere. The Project had four distinct elements, and the report below is structured around these: 1. Improving the Walking Offer 2. Offa's Country Information and Interpretation 3. Business and community engagement and training 4. Walking
