Feedback / Comments :

It was useful looking at different aspects of place shaping and different views of development.
I got a broader understanding of development economics in the current climate.
I gained a greater understand and knowledge of additional mechanisms to generate investment and grants.
I received a good sound knowledge of negotiating skills and capital programmes for public sectors.
I am a new councillor and it has opened up my mind to planning and costing. I do believe we have to have a vision in these days and how important it is to communicate and run with the vision and be a voice to help our constituents. I filled up a whole notebook!
My objectives were met, but I’d have expected/hoped some more attendees from Shoreham Harbour Steering group would attend the session, so we could related today’s discussion/presentations to the work we’re doing on the Shoreham Harbour AAP.
