If not too late the LI in the UK have put these few pages together which are good in giving another view of what its like being a LA but not enough public sector interviews perhaps

I have never looked back since qualifying in 1980 something …blimey is it that long!!

Some ideas I hope will come out of this series of lectures?

Future got to be linked to the promotion of sustainable planning, design & management and in the UK getting more young people into the profession in the first place as entry onto accredited course is down year on year!   Seems everyone wants to chase the money?

Just heard about this one above……….

I can only go to those set up and advertised by our UK Institute.

Best wishes

Great to see other people in Europe trying this out and this will encourage me in my efforts to persuade the decision makers

Thanks

Yes very interesting idea and a great way to ‘eat the view’ if we add in the benefits of supporting local food markets and understanding where our food comes from.

Thanks

Hi Toby

Thanks for your interest and yes how we manage public perception is a key issue. One detailed example is the fact there is now little revenue for ongoing grass cutting in the county such as on highway verges which do need cutting especially on visibility sight lines. We are running some experiments with semi parasitic wildflowers which we hope will reduce the fertility of the grasses and add some biodiversity benefits. We are also hoping the find funds to trial topsoil removal down to mineral subsoil/rock. The area we cover is the whole of the county of Dorset. The link below goes to our interactive map of the county which I hope helps give you an idea of our area.

Regards
