Details:
- The purpose of this Technical Note is to advise Members of the Mugdock Joint Management Committee (JMC) of the consultation process for developing the new Mugdock Strategy, 2022-2027.
- In order to inform the planning processes of Mugdock Country Park a new strategy was agreed at the JMC meeting of 19 Sept 2020 (PNCA 085/19/MC) and updated at the JMC meeting held on 17 March 2020 (PNCA/036/20/MC).
- The new strategy will pull together information relating to the land management, capital investment programme, business planning, asset development and marketing.
- At the JMC meeting held on 19 October 2021 (PNCA/086/21/MC) the Committee was updated on the appointment of Ironside Farrar to carry out this work. Following a process of review and benchmarking the next step is to consult with both visitors to the Park and stakeholders.
- To achieve this a visitor survey will be carried out on-line through the EDC and Mugdock websites with face to face interviews also taking place.
- For the stakeholder consultation a series of Teams meetings will be set up to discuss the main issues with a survey being completed following discussion. The proposal is Thursday 16 December, 2pm-3pm; Friday 17 December, 10am-11am and Wednesday 12 January, 11am-12pm.
- The consultation questionnaire will be circulated to JMC members prior to the meetings being held.
