Date anounced for first meeting of network to help councillors champion better places

connectivity_-_phoenix_initiative_-_coventry.jpgMarch 26th will see the first meeting of a new network to help councillors from all over the West Midlands region who are Design and Historic Environment Champions to work together and learn from each other.

Supported by English Heritage and CABE the network will include both physical meetings and an online ‘social network’ website where councillors can access resources, ask questions, exchange views and even post photos.

All local authorities should have Design and Historic Environment Champions to promote good design and appropriate responses to heritage in their council. MADE is currently updating its list of champions and encouraging councils without champions to appoint them. We are keen to hear from any councillors who want to champion good design, even if they currently do not have the official title ‘champion’.

To book at place at the meeting on 26th March or to sign up to be kept in touch with the network. contact David Tittle 0121 633 9304 This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it
