3 How long plans take to be produced...

3 The sheer persistence, creativity and effort Neighbourhood Forum teams are putting in...

3 The difference a borough/or in fact a planning officer can make...

3 That there is so much ‘proper’ planning speak and not more on detailed design quality and design aspiration...

3 The power, effectiveness and serendipity of large collaborative workshops and street engagement activities!

3 That there is not more online engagement...

3 And so few dealings with developers, housings associations and local authority asset management teams...

3 That there isn’t more clarity on what will happen in 2015 when the government seed funding comes to an end...
