Church Marshes Country Park Development

Church Marshes Country Park Audience Development Plan was undertaken on behalf of Swale Borough Council. The Moffat Centre was commissioned to provide a feasibility study for transforming the derelict Church Marshes landscape into a sustainable country park. The approach adopted was to consult a range of expert stakeholders including representatives of natural heritage conservation, rural recreation, community education and visitor attractions. A range of issues were explored including natural heritage conservation, the development of on-site heritage attractions, visitor service provision, community involvement, and countryside related education.
The Moffat Centre provided recommendations for the sustainable development of this amenity for the use of local people and visitors to the area. The aim here was to develop tourism potential and encourage recreational use including cultural heritage related education, walking and cycling. A series of workshops were undertaken to raise awareness and these were attended by a diverse range of community representatives and stakeholders involved in the planning and decision making process for the development.
