GLaM aims to enhance the visitor experience and support sustainable transport measures on the coastal plain by capitalising on the footpaths and green links provided by the Medmerry Managed Re-alignment and other schemes. GLaM aims to further this by creating and improving more circular and green routes across the peninsula that will play their part in a Sustainable Transport Plan for the Manhood Peninsula.<\/p>\n

The Manhood Peninsula Partnership (MPP) has been working to progress ideas about tourism and visitors to the peninsula via the Green Links across the Manhood (GLaM) group, a subgroup of the MPP. The ideas behind GLaM were originally put forward by the Medmerry Stakeholders Advisory Group (MStAG) in response to proposals to create the Medmerry Managed Re-alignment Scheme. These were expanded further in the Destination Management Plan <\/a>(DMP) produced by Chichester University during the Coastal Change Pathfinder Project. The new project particularly wants to develop the idea of green tourism as a means to encourage sustainable economic development, but not to increase visitor numbers during the summer.<\/p>\n

The DMP identified ways to enhance the visitor experience. The main\u00a0recommendation was to\u00a0capitalising on the footpaths and green links provided by the Medmerry Managed Re-alignment Scheme. GLaM aims to further this by creating and improving other paths and green routes\u00a0across the peninsula.<\/p>\n

The links, and other measures such a bird watching,\u00a0will help\u00a0relieve visitor pressure on the peninsula by\u00a0providing a reason for people to visit and stay\u00a0during the autumn and winter months instead of concentrating on summer.\u00a0Most importantly\u00a0they will also\u00a0link the eastern and western sides of the Manhood Peninsula, which currently have good north\/south links with Chichester, but very poor east\/west links with each other. The intention is to help revitalise the peninsula economy by providing off road links between\u00a0Medmerry and the two harbours, using them\u00a0as a catalyst for creating interest in the area.<\/p>\n

The Green Tourism and Sustainable Economic Development\u00a0<\/a>document\u00a0provides an overview of green tourism and economic development on the peninsula, and creates the context for the Green Links across the Manhood (GLaM) Key Policy Statement.<\/p>\n

Key documents to date\u00a0are the GLaM Key Policy Statement and the GLaM Map. Please follow the links below to read the documents:<\/p>\n
