Meeting earlier this week with Nottingham City Council to discuss the One Vision Partnership's interests in business units in #Bulwell

[Paul Barton Consultancy Ltd @paulconsultancy]

Some great conversations this week regarding the #Bulwell Regeneration Scheme and how OVP can help in ensuring meaningful local input into the schemes delivery.

[Paul Barton Consultancy Ltd @paulconsultancy]

Meeting earlier with @AlexJJNorris regarding the Bulwell Town Centre regeneration scheme.

Challenge from me is securing a sustainable legacy from the investment that enhances the viability of the town centre, providing opportunities for local people and businesses.

@narindertweets @andreajenkyns Does the Mayor of the Combined Authority have the power to sack staff in other organisations such as Lincolnshire County Council and the other councils in the area?

[Paul Barton Consultancy Ltd @paulconsultancy]

Great to see this investment in Bulwell. One Vision Partnership will work with Council to try and ensure wider benefits are achieved and to link with our place, heritage and cultural aspirations

Finally completed the first draft of my response to National Planning Policy Framework (#nppf) consultation. Will finalise tomorrow.
Lots of good stuff in there, especially plan led stem, but major challenges in implementation including capacity and skills in #planning teams.

[Paul Barton Consultancy Ltd @paulconsultancy]

Provided some brief comments on the Bulwell Riverside and Market pu lic realm proposals.
Broadly supportive but question how the investment will be maintained; lack of clear vision for area; and how the works will help support local small business.

[Paul Barton Consultancy Ltd @paulconsultancy]

Quick visit to #Bulwell Riverside to see plans for public realm improvements for Bulwell Bogs, Market Place and Main Street.
Interesting proposals but appear to lack detail of how they facilitate the wider regeneration of the area.
My thoughts will be submitted over the weekend.

[Paul Barton Consultancy Ltd @paulconsultancy]

Great to catch up earlier today with @VictoriaJersova as she embarks on a freelance consultancy career.

Great strategic workshop with the One Vision Partnership earlier today. Next step is the business plan.

@themjcouk A policy to demonize local authorities and their staff rather than tackle real issues. Perhaps central government should be learning from local authorities given the efficiencies the sector has had to make over last 13 years (if not longer).
