Chapter nine Delivery of the 2007-12 Management Plan 9.1 The 2007-12 Plan period saw a review of the governance model for the Antonine Wall WHS, in line with changes within local and national government. Originally an overarching Management Plan Steering Group included both Partners and stakeholders. Three original delivery groups covered Protection, Research, and Access and Interpretation. An originally constituted Landscape group had not met for many years. These groups were considered sufficient to meet the inaugural needs of the delivery of the 2007-12 Management Plan. 9.2 During 2012, this structure was further developed and refined to enable greater accountability and quicker decision making. The Management Plan Steering Group was slimmed down to the six key Partners plus the chairs of the delivery groups. The delivery groups remained as they were, but an Education and Learning Group was established and a new Conservation and Landscape group is planned. This structure will allow the Steering Group to take a strategic overview of the work of the delivery groups, each of which will deliver operationally on specific aims and objectives in the Management Plan. 9.3 To further facilitate discussion within Partner organisations, a series of internal working groups have been, or are being, established within the five local authorities and Historic Scotland to ensure cross departmental working and resource allocation is as effective as possible. 9.4 For the Access and Interpretation Group, key successes over the last five-year plan period have included: the joint development of an Interpretation Plan and Access Strategy to guide the work of all Partners and stakeholders; the development by the group of a ‘brand identity’ and design guidelines for the Antonine Wall which is now being rolled out on all signage and advertising materials; the completion by North Lanarkshire Council of a series of path and signage improvements to the stretch of the Antonine Wall running through the local authority; work by West Dunbartonshire Council to install a series of markers along the line of the Antonine Wall and interpretive signage at Golden Hill Park; Falkirk Council’s project with Bo’ness Community Council to create and erect a replica of the Bridgeness slab; Friends of Kinneil’s annual Big Roman Week; and the commencement of a project by East Dunbartonshire Council to improve access to Bar Hill by constructing a car park at Twechar and developing associated interpretive materials. In March 2012, North Lanarkshire Council will develop the first signage strategy for the Antonine Wall, covering the section in their care and preceding physical improvements to signage over the course of the 2013-18 Plan period while Glasgow Council have prepared a council-specific Interpretation and Action Plan which will be carried forward during 2013-14.

This has been an immense achievement as it was produced collaboratively by planning and development staff in all five local authorities and adopted by all five planning committees. This represents a tremendous engagement by both elected members and officers in the commitment to protection of the Antonine Wall WHS. 9.6 The Research group have been working on identifying the research gaps in relation to the Antonine Wall and will use this information to develop a Research Strategy for the Site over the period of the 2013-18 Plan. Although there are many visible remains of the Antonine Wall, a large part of it is buried underground. This offers incredible preservation and research opportunities but also poses particular challenges with regard to presentation and management. The Research Strategy will thus need to marry with, and feed into, the work of the access and conservation focused working groups. 9.7 The Education and Learning Group have commissioned an audit of education provision along the Antonine Wall and a survey into views of current and potential educational users. The results of this work will be fed into the development and delivery of an education strategy for the Antonine Wall WHS over the period of the new Management Plan. 19
