  • New Forest National Park Authority
    Invitation to tender Plan your day at the Visitor Information Centre, New Forest Centre Introduction The Department of Transport has awarded funding to Hampshire County Council, New Forest NPA, South Downs NPA, together with the highway authorities of Brighton & Hove, East Sussex, West Sussex, Surrey and Wiltshire to develop initiatives to reduce the impact of traffic on the two National Parks. The funding has been awarded through the Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF) and will allow the Authorities to focus on: Improving key public transport services in to the two National Parks Making it easy to reach visitor attractions within the two National Parks Promoting travel by cycle, bus and rail to and around the National Parks Managing traffic effectively within the Parks, so that it does not detract from the visitors’ experience As part of this funding, we seek to install a ‘plan your day’ interactive area within the New Forest Centre, Lyndhurst. Part of the Centre acts as the Visitor Information Centre for the New Forest destination, and is the only remaining one staffed by New Forest District Council in their destination management capacity. The Centre received 230,000 visitors in 2014, and there is considerable scope to convey sustainable transport messages within the information and itinerary ideas offered. The plan your day area will complement print and face to face information by offering access to digital based content on sustainable ways of enjoying the New Forest. The plan your day interactive will enable visitors to access: Maps Walking routes Cycling routes Itinerary ideas using sustainable transport Information on the New Forest Tour, a flagship open top bus tour around the Park Video content on sustainable transport experiences Other related information as agreed We are also interested in the possibility of: Integration with National Park social media channels The plan your day interactive will be accompanied by WiFi access for visitors and associated graphics.

Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.
