Unfortunately Kevin, that may be wishful thinking. There are already indications that the job security of some LA archaeologists is under threat for the financial year 2010/11 and forecasts for 2011/12 are even worse. Local Government cut backs regardless of who wins the next general election will happen so its not a matter of creating new LA posts but fighting to preserve the ones we already have.
