Description

This research & development project is a partnership project between Stockton Borough Council, Hartlepool Borough Council and Natural England. We want to commission consultants to research and examine the multi-functional benefits of the Tees Estuary section of the King Charles III England Coast Path; using the Green Infrastructure Framework to investigate the opportunity to significantly develop and enhance key route sections. The research will achieve aims that 1) identify capital improvements that facilitate connecting people to nature, 2) investigate & advise on the potential to increase safe cycling routes, 3) consider non-capital interventions that might encourage use and enjoyment of the route, 4) how improvements to this section of the England Coast Path can a) contribute to improved ecosystems services - joining up key sites of nature and estuary landscape to improve habitat connectivity and species mobility, and b) Improve air quality through reduction in carbon loads.
