  • Whilst walking in Europe we have been impressed by the excellent refreshment facilities for walkers and well way-marked routes to follow. Teesdale could learn from this example and increase visitors to the area.

Agriculture

The Vision will explore opportunities to create a ‘New Directions’ resource centre to lead and share best practice in agricultural diversification – including conservation, production and uses of sustainable building materials, organic farming, green restoration. The Centre will benefit the local farming community and attract people coming to learn from elsewhere. Part of the site could be used for some affordable housing, including a self-build project working with young people to build ‘green’ houses, getting qualifications en route and owning a stake in the houses when they’re finished.
