Aims of the Trust

To sustain and develop the mixed economy of the area with special emphasis on support for small and medium sized enterprises.

To improve the built and natural environment for the benefit of residents and visitors.

To improve access to, and quality of services for, the Community.

To support other local voluntary organisations/groups. 

To optimise community involvement in the economic, social and environmental regeneration process.

Benefits expected

The exchange of information relative to DTA activities, particularly in rural areas.

The benefits deriving from the lobbying power of the DTA.

Advice on a range of matters such as insurance, legal, networking, etc.

Benefits received

We have had advice on insurance and legal matters.

We attended a DTA Rural Forum and this was an excellent opportunity to share experiences, views etc., but the DTA seems to concentrate on urban affairs. As far as I am aware there has been no further Rural Forum, although there was an expressed need for one.
