Short profile:
Barnard Castle Vision is a 20-year plan for the regeneration and development of Barnard Castle market town. The Vision provides a means of accessing long term funding to transform the town into a leading rural service centre, a heritage destination of regional significance, a hotbed of entrepreneurialism and a preferred location for high value-added manufacturing and knowledge-based business investment. The Vision will benefit residents, entrepreneurs, workers, investors and visitors to Barnard Castle.
Detailed description:
The Regional Economic Strategy has identified Barnard Castle as one of four market towns (alongside Alnwick, Berwick and Hexham) that are priorities for strategic investment.
The Visioning process started with extensive community consultation led by independent consultants Ekos Consulting. This consultation is summarised in the report Barnard Castle Vision published in March 2007.
The Vision was commissioned by the former Teesdale District Council, Durham County Council, County Durham Economic Partnership, One NorthEast, Teesdale Marketing and Teesdale Local Strategic Partnership.
The Vision has also been informed by the findings of a Retail Distinctiveness Study.
