Main findings

A number of general trends and headline themes have emerged from our initial analysis.

A coding framework has been used to group respondents raising the same or similar points, so we have some quantitative indication of relative strength of opinion.

The consultation questions were mostly very open (apart from 1a and 2), and of course not all respondents systematically answered the questions. Although some of the percentages may appear low, in the view of one of our independent research companies, for a survey of this type any comments made by more than 5% of respondents are ‘worth noting’, and any issues raised by more than 20% of respondents represent a ‘key finding’.

 
Case study: Hadrian’s Wall
Award: £20,326,825
Synopsis: Hadrian’s Wall is one of Britain’s most famous landmarks. We have funded 16 projects along its 135 kilometres length, from Wallsend in the east to Bowness-on-Solway in the west – helping to conserve the wall, improve the national walk, and create exciting opportunities to learn about the Romans. These projects have also helped to re-launch much of the local economy – around 800 walkers a month now spend on average £180 each, supporting farm-based businesses along the route.
