The issue of who should pay. With the current climate of pressing for tighter heritage regulation (House of Lords Thursday), using Cllr. Melton's comments as a 'litimus tests' for a possible sign of things to come, how will pressure on the polluter to pay be vented? How will the venting express itself, through lobbying pressure by those with 'vested' building interests, will this include a government interested in being seen as getting the economy moving again?
i'm still not sure how helpful to the heritage industry the previous government were and i'm certainly not convinced that we wil be helped by labour's return to office (although i will vote for them at the first opportunity). i think we need to move away from politiking this issue and focus on expanding our support base by producing better, and more relevant output
perhaps then we can have kevin's utopian fantasy - which i share
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers
