This money has already been raised from nat¡onal and loial,
organisations
3.2 Restoration
Restoration requires detailed work with architects and
conservationists exper¡enced in such work, and appointed
by
local authorities.
3.3 Finance
A detaired budget must be worked out. current estimates for
restoration are between f 1.5 and f2m. publ¡c and privaie
support, both local and national, is needed to raise this money.
3.4 Marketing
A marketing plan must show the viability of the casfle as a
tourist attraction. we believe that a public-private partnership
will ensure the castle's future.
4 Conclusion
Five recommendations:
4.1 Need for detailed consultation with stakeholders.
4.2 Purchase and Restoration plan required with formation
of a
consortium to raise funds.
4.3 Architects to provide study of restorat¡on and
conservation
work, with costs analysis.
4.4 Finance Committee to provide overall budget and
cost_
benefit analysis within six months.
4.5 Marketing plan required, including consultation
with
jnterested parties.
Next meeting: '15 July 2005 to agree schedule for completing
the recommendations. All stakeholders will be invited.
