Trekking centre on Cannock Chase will expand

The Cannock Chase Trekking Centre will be expanded as record visitor numbers flock to the site.

Published

New accommodation to ensure two equine staff are available on the site for 24 hours a day, seven times a week, will be installed following approval from councillors.

The application was agreed by South Staffordshire District Council's planning committee last night and will fit in with a wide-scale expansion of the site.

Earlier this year, proposals for a new visitor centre, along with new stables at the popular horse riding and trekking centre, were approved.

The scheme for the site, based off the main A34, will also create two new jobs.

The application was put forward after owners had received a record 17,000 visitors within 12 months.
