Trans-national Co-operation Projects

Laois LEADER+

Laois LEADER+ Group from Ireland have been contacted with the possibility of developing a joint walking festival with Herefordshire.

The lead applicant in this case would be the Tourism Department for Herefordshire Council. Tentative discussions have taken place with no formal suggestions put forward, as yet, but meetings and visits from both groups are provisionally booked for Summer 2005.

Vallee de la Sarthe ( France )

Contact has been initiated with this Local Action Group from France as their area and objectives are similar to ours.

Potentially, the idea was based around a joint tourism project, concentrating on the subject of river access. Unfortunately, no contact has been received back from the Vallee de la Sarthe group, so this project has been set-aside for the moment.
