DIARY: Keith Hill in barnstorming form at AGM
28 November 2003
On the same day that Prescott was ribbing the Prince of Wales, planning minister Keith Hill was in barnstorming form at the Clapham Park New Deal for Communities AGM. Arriving late because of an overrun Commons debate, Hill proceeded to whip his audience into a state of near-frenzy by waving his arms about a lot and launching into a tirade about "regeneration tourists". It was also good to see Hill living up to his "hard as nails" reputation. After the speech he was introduced to Diary, whom he gripped with a vice-like handshake before booming: "So, are YOU a regeneration tourist?" So cowed was Diary by the experience that it wasn't until later that he realised that his entry to the sector predated Hill's arrival as minister by about two years. By then it was a bit late for a snappy rejoinder about who exactly was the "tourist"!
BOOK REVIEW: Never judge a book by its cover
28 November 2003
Readers in search of inspiration may be unlikely to pick up a tome about Single Regeneration Budget schemes in Yorkshire. But the old adage about never judging a book by its cover comes into its own here, for this book, published by regional development agency Yorkshire Forward, is a gem.
DIARY: Brum loses the plot, Prescott the jester, and Hill crushes our man
28 November 2003
Conspiracy theories abound in Birmingham as the city struggles to accept losing the capital of culture 2008 bid. While fellow losers, Newcastle-Gateshead, Bristol and Oxford have been cheerfully getting on with their own cultural campaigns, Birmingham is convinced it is the victim of a foul plot. A scrutiny committee has been sitting for weeks with cries of "it's not sour grapes but..." emitting from all and sundry. Aston Villa FC chairman 'Deadly' Doug Ellis is the latest to advance his theory. "We were up against the London mafia and there is no doubt that things were going on behind the scenes," he told the committee, adding that Liverpool's win was politically influenced. The surprise of the loss to Birmingham is confusing Diary. With six cities competing and only one prize? You do the maths.
DIARY: Prescott jovial at seminar
28 November 2003
Deputy prime minister John Prescott was in jovial mood this week at a seminar held by Prince Charles' charity for the built environment. Before launching into his usual routine about step changes, he turned to the Prince, in the front row, and spoke about the difficulties of being second in command - "a bit like your Royal Highness". After much laughter, Prescott quipped that he knew where the Tower of London was. "After last week's decision on the Shard of Glass perhaps that's where I'm heading anyway," he said.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGENERATION: Making urban life less ordinary
28 November 2003
A wetland centre carved from an old reservoir in west London is proving to be as much about generating a feeling of well-being for those tied to city living, as it is about wildlife conservation.
TURNING POINT: An Olympic inspiration for change
28 November 2003
One of the things that most attracted me to regeneration through landscape architecture was the diversity of backgrounds and interests that led people to the sector. I only half believed that such a metamorphosis could happen when I left Catalunya in 1994 as a teacher to come to Manchester to retrain as a landscape architect.
OPINION: Decentralisation won't happen
28 November 2003
I've just come across a Local Government Information Unit (LGIU) briefing on "relocation and central government". It's about the Lyons review. It's very sensible - the document, not the Lyons review. The document says many intelligent things about why it would be in the national interest to transfer public sector activities from London and the South-East to other parts of the UK. It's when I read that "it has been suggested that the result of the review could be relocation of 20,000 posts (there are currently 230,000 civil servants and other central government staff in London and the SouthEast)" that I realised we'd all left planet earth on this subject.
EDITORIAL: High-rise London also needs more central housing
28 November 2003
London may be about to get a new landmark. The deputy prime minister last week approved a new skyscraper to be built next to London Bridge station. If the plans come to fruition, it will be the tallest building in Europe.
OPINION: A helping hand for sustainability
28 November 2003
It was my privilege to be a judge at the first ever Deputy Prime Minister's Award for Sustainable Communities at Whitehall Palace last week (Regeneration & Renewal, 21 November, p3). The awards are a practical expression of the commitment to sustainability made by the Government in its White Paper, as well as the Sustainable Communities Quality Framework on which the ODPM is currently working.
