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.

  • New Mills Town Council
    Community Conversations Report: New Mills Introduction The purpose of the Community Conversation was to provide an opportunity for New Mills residents to inform the High Peak Borough Council about what they liked and disliked about their area and what their hopes were for the future of their town up to 2026. This discussion was set against the background of previous Core Strategy consultations which had suggested that there could be some growth within New Mills with the extent and siting of any proposal open for discussion. Given the change in government policy on regional plans the High Peak Borough Council saw this is an opportunity to get a better understanding of the views of New Mills residents. A booklet was produced that outlined the key issues facing the borough with regard to increasing population figures whilst summarising the key attributes of New Mills. This was intended to inform the debate on the night and more generally within the community. The session format was deliberately interactive and used group discussions around simple, open questions to elicit a debate about the future of New Mills. It also included the use of a large base map with attendees encouraged to identify areas that were special to them and areas where there could be change. 50 people attended 44 of whom completed a form to tell us their age and economic status. The figures below show the age and working status of those people. 28 women and 16 men completed the forms, 3 of them had children under 18; 50% of them were retired and over 51.

In this pack you should find sufficient information to enable you to settle into the area, find out about the facilities on offer, and details of many of the clubs and societies. If specific information about your particular interest or need is not shown, then pop into the Town Hall Information Point and ask there. If they don't know the answer, they usually know someone who does! The Parish Council produces a quarterly Newsletter which is available from the Town Hall or the Post Office. Chapel is a small friendly town with a long history, in a beautiful location, almost surrounded by the Peak District National Park. It's about 800 feet above sea level, and its neighbour, Dove Holes, is about 1000 feet above, so while the weather can be sometimes wild, on good days its situation is magnificent. The Parish Council takes pride in maintaining the facilities it directly controls, and ensures that as far as possible, the other Councils who provide many of the local services - High Peak Borough Council (HPBC) and Derbyshire County Council (DCC) also serve the area well.
