One topic I think should be addressed is what happens to postX when a company client or archaeological goes bust? What obligations does a company or an individual actually have?
This is happening. We have several large PX projects that have been stalled by clients going bust. In some cases the sites are still open and will probably stay that way for many years. It will be of interest to see how these land parcels are shifted in the future. Will archaeological conditions be considered?
In others the development has gone ahead. It is annoying that this has been sanctioned/allowed by the planners even though their planning obligations have not been met.
I really feel for the PX staff, particularly the directors and supervisors who bust guts to see their fieldwork through only to see their future PX projects lost (ie at some near point, their jobs).
I expect EH will recieve a few more requests for HEEP funding, but this is a very small pot of money. Could this funding be increased in these exceptional times?
