A ROW is looming over a tourism campaign aimed at attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Staffordshire Moorlands.
Community leaders say the Staffordshire Peak District brand was
adopted to ensure that the Moorlands gets its fair share of
national park tourists.
But only one third of the Moorlands falls within the Peak District boundary and opponents fear tourism outlets in other areas, such as Biddulph and Cheadle, could lose out.
How was the motion passed in the first place?
Former Moorlands District council leader Ron Locker has tabled a
motion to Saturday’s full meeting of the district council calling on the
authority to ditch the brand and market the Moorlands in its own right.
