feel free to rant... though the article poitns at broad cooperation... with all parties.. remember it is not one FLO per county.. so the maths may not work there .. and spread across the 125 (ish) county archaeology services, it would not go far... PLUS the central command PLUS the outreach PLUS etc etc... It may be beter to say not EITHER / OR... but BOTH... yes both... why not? I, like you am only too aware of the 'over and above' duties and help we offer.. at no extra cost... we need more outreach.. and funded as well.. not swapping one for another.
You are obviously not anti-MD.. or anti PAS.. but another stressed HER ... think what could be achieved with FLOs, Community Projects (fully funded) etc... Look to Perth and Kinross.. which has built a service that meets that very need and provides a whole month of events based around archaeology... it has even been able to employ someone specifically for that.. I don't want a choice between... but a complementary and expanded service.
