The logic of this closure is totally beyond me.....The GMAU provides HER advice to 10 planning authorities in the Manchester area. It operates in a cost-effective and regionally cohesive manner. All 10 planning authorities will continue to require this advice after the closure of GMAU.
It seems impossible to believe that individually the planning authorities can recieve the necessary archaeological advice any cheaper than they currently do, yet the driving force behind the closure is claimed to be cost-cutting. How does that work? Surely heads need banging together here before the baby is thrown out with the bath water!!

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
