Identified themes: knowledge and values ‘’Frankly, I'm not keen on the local landscape. I'm a hilly, foresty type of person so take every opportunity to escape to more congenial venues’’ ‘’I Love it all. The Flatness with the beautiful sky-scapes. The history. The waterways.’’ ‘’Its all about a sustainable balance - many of these are inter-related and impact on each other. Concentrate on things that have multiple benefits and not single issues.’’
Identified themes: access and engagement Local, informal access Improved facilities Organised events Information and promotion Walking and cycling routes
Identified audiences Visitors Farmers and land owners Incomers and new communities People who are uninspired by the landscape Deprived communities Heritage supporters Young people and families& Migrant communities
