is heritage good for local people?

[Unitof1]

this is heritage management rather than archaeology. I am with the undetectable man and then some in being suspicious of mixing government and archaeology and praising it. I tend to think of heritage management as something to do with museums, Tom what is the connection of heritage management to the bushman trial?

“Traditional farm buildings are defined as those built in the local vernacular tradition before 1940” means little to me and is presumably a new tradition or was this defined in 1985/1990 (can traditions be defined after 1940) and might we have to wait a while to find out if this new tradition lasts, particularly at the local level as it could be something to do with the national level which stopped development of local vernacular traditions in 1940. Why was/are/will there be a shortage of traditions in these areas?

I wish that Defra would just go up to landowners (and not call them farmers) and give them money rather than have to come up with such convoluted reasons with words such as traditional, vernacular, heritage. Is this an example of mixing government, natives and heritage management or is it archaeology http://www.defra.gov.uk/rds/em/news/28-09-05.htm
