Nonspecialist European studies programs in the sixth form are discussed by P. Richardson in chapter 4. M.

Introduction 1.1 The scope of this topic paper is wide ranging covering those aspects of society which enrich our lives. This is everything from the most fundamental of community services and facilities such as the provision of schools and health services to ways of spending our leisure time whether it be as residents of North Somerset or as tourists. With regards to tourism there are obvious overlaps between this and the economic topic paper and the work which is underway on the Area Action Plans for Weston­super­ Mare Town Centre and the Regeneration Area. No attempt has been made to cover every aspect of Culture, Leisure and Tourism. The intention has been to highlight those areas which may have the clearest implications for spatial/land use planning and especially the Core Strategy.
