Following the meeting Mr
Jackson was pleased to have secured a number of undertakings from
the HLF regarding Flag Fen:
-
That the HLF would liaise with
Peterborough City Council and the Flag Fen Trust over funding
problems
-
That the HLF would assist the
aforementioned organisations in creating a business plan for the
future
-
That the HLF would offer its
in-house expertise in any ways it could to allow Flag Fen to
become financially viable
Following the meeting, Stewart
commented: “The Flag Fen site is one of the finest of its kinds in
Europe and is a major local tourist attraction.
“I am delighted that the Heritage
Lottery Fund took such a close interest in the facility when I met
them.
“I’m sure that the Fund can be of
significant assistance to both the local council and the Flag Fen
trustees.”
