Edinburgh Council Property Conservation Redesign

Most of you will by now no doubt be familiar with the issues affecting the City of Edinburgh Property Conservation Department. 

You may also recall being invited to contribute (here) towards a consultation that they held last year on how the service should be redesigned going forward.  Several options were proposed, none of which really offered a satisfactory solution, and this is reflected in the comments within the responses received, which are documented here.  I'd encourage you to have a look - it actually makes for some interesting reading! 

In the meantime, based on these results, the council are about to issue some new guidance from April 2013.  See current details here - http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/1028/improvements_and_repairs/1807/property_conservation_redesign.

So - watch this space!
