That is why the projects that I am currently pushing forward with a large outreach component have to have a long lead-in period. I would very much like to see direct involvement on site for a number of interested groups of all ages, but this cannot be bolted on to the project at the last minute. At the moment I am discussing the overall phasing of the developments in order to ensure that key areas of the site (key for archaeology) are available for a decent amount of time without other construction activities going in in the vicinity. These schemes are not likely to start until 2008/09, but the concept of public involvement has to be agreed and programmed now if it is going to happen at all. The clients are OK with this as long as it can be demonstrated that it will no lead to delays in the build programme.
