Rural Communities
The Preferred Options Paper should be more prescriptive in it‟s dealing with employment and in particular with the diversification of activities undertaken within the farming communities. We wonder how rural buildings can be re-used for economic purposes such as tourism. Since most buildings are asbestos cement roofed barns do we put ramblers and hikers up overnight? But there could be opportunities for one or two nationally marketed leisure breaks in former mansions enlarged to provide attractive leisure facilities, with an imaginative approach to conservation as being the next stage in the life of that building complex similar to Walton Hall and others. It is however too small an initiative to rate being included in the core strategy.
