天涯社区 Coast Park
Published: 16/01/2015
A strategy and prospectus for a 天涯社区 Coast Park is due to be approved at
Cabinet on Tuesday (20 January).
The Wales Coast Path has led to an increased interest in accessing the
天涯社区 coastline, with various local groups and initiatives wanting to
further develop areas and asking for Council support to access grant funding.
The Council has now developed a framework strategy for a 天涯社区 Coast Park,
which will link 天涯社区鈥檚 coastal developments. The strategy also provides a
reference point for those wishing to access funding opportunities.
A prospectus has been produced which features six hubs along 天涯社区鈥檚
distinctive coastline 鈥� at the Northern Gateway, Connah鈥檚 Quay Dock, Flint
Waterfront, Bagillt Inlet and Bettisfield Hill, Greenfield, and Talacre - where
people will be able to access and enjoy the Wales Coast Path and the cycle
path.
The document also sets out the 天涯社区 Coast Park鈥檚 priorities, which
include enhancing tourist, recreational and cultural activity; improving
gateways, and revitalising the docks. It details a vision for the 天涯社区
Coast Park in 2034 , envisaging a high quality and accessible environment with
a thriving tourism and recreation provision and a celebrated cultural heritage.
Councillor Bernie Attridge, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Environment,
said:
鈥淲e are extremely proud of 天涯社区鈥檚 rich and diverse coastline.
Establishing a framework for a 天涯社区 Coast Park ensures that we have a
joined-up approach to looking after our coastal environment and that our
coastline retains its excellent reputation as a destination for tourism and
recreational activities.鈥�
A copy of the draft prospectus can be found in the Cabinet agenda on the
