Growing the Value of the Visitor Economy 9 7. Priorities and Actions 12 8. Measures of Success 14 2 1. Introduction A strong visitor economy is important to the economic health of the Derbyshire Dales. Generating an estimated £315m in visitor spend it provides employment, offers business opportunities and helps sustain local services – but there is room for growth. To grow the value of the sector visitors need to be encouraged to spend more when they come. Promoting the special qualities of the Dales, improving the visitor ‘welcome’, providing better experiences and working towards a higher value visitor offer will help achieve this. This plan takes its lead from the District Council’s Economic Plan. Drawing on the area’s distinctive rural offer, proximity to urban markets and already high visitor numbers (relative to other Derbyshire districts), the aim of the plan is: AIM: To develop a higher value visitor economy in the Derbyshire Dales Doing everything needed to achieve this aim is a ‘big ask’ of the District Council and is not the purpose of this plan. Rather, within the context of available resources, effort will be focused on three priorities where District Council intervention can make a difference, complementing and adding to the activities of our partners and other stakeholders: PRIORITIES: 1. Support businesses within the visitor economy to exploit key markets and supply chain opportunities 2.

The industry’s greatest period came in the late sixteenth century, after technical improvements and an expansion of the trade, and lasted until the late eighteenth century. This is an examination of the working of the industry and of developments during these two centuries. From the sixteenth century onwards there is a large body of written material arising from the way in which the industry was organised. This book is largely based on such documentary evidence preserved in the Derbyshire Record Office and the Derbyshire County Library, in particular the archive accumulated over several centuries by the Gell family of Hopton, now in the DRO, and the microfilm copy of the Wolley manuscripts in the Local Studies Library at Matlock.

  • Green Lanes Annual Report 2020
    [Type text] OpenGreen Access Lanes Annual Newsletter Report 2019/20 May 2020 Green lanes are tracks across the National Park used by walkers, cyclists, horse riders and motor vehicles. This is our third annual report. It reports on the work we have done in partnership with others over this last year. 1) Involvement Peak District Local Access Forum Our Local Access Forum (LAF), the first to be established in this country, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. For the last 10 years it has had a sub-group looking at the issues of recreational motorised vehicles and green lanes. LAF members come from a wide range of backgrounds and interests. We are grateful for their expertise, advice and guidance provided and their collaborative consensus-based approach. In June 2019, LAF members met officers from Sheffield City Council, Eastern Moors Partnership and Derbyshire Police on the Houndkirk Road to consider how to encourage vehicle users to Stay on Track. Damage to the track verges was looked at and it was clear that we had to change the way of thinking to value the surroundings more than the ability to drive anywhere at will. Options for signage, barriers, reinstatement and enforcement were also considered. www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/vehicles 1 [Type text] OpenGreen Access Lanes Annual Newsletter Report 2019/20 Two Forums The first joint Forum meeting between Peak District Local Access Forum and the Stanage Forum was held in March 2020 on Long Causeway at Stanage. Members discussed enhancing accessibility and considered the potential for a Miles without Stiles route. We also looked at opportunities that the route provides for people to explore the moorland habitat.
