Have your say on the future of Cannock Chase
THIS SURVEY IS NOW CLOSED
The Cannock Chase National Landscape Partnership is preparing a new Management Plan, setting out the way in which we will protect and enhance the natural beauty of the area for the next five years. The Partnership and the staff team have a key role to support and co-ordinate action, but this is a plan for the area and for all partners to help deliver – it isn’t a plan for any one organisation.
In preparation for a revised plan from 2025, we would like to hear your views on:
· What you value about the area?
· What are your concerns?
· What you think should be the priorities for the future?
You might appreciate the scenery, peace and quiet, wildlife, opportunities to walk or cycle, or the heritage and culture. You might have views on protecting the quality of the landscape, helping nature to recover, how we respond to climate change, future directions for farming, or how visitors should be managed. We will take into account all comments gathered in producing the new plan.
Deadline for all responses to be close of play 19th June 2024.
