There’s plenty going on in our district – from major regeneration projects to meeting the growing demand for housing and ambitious environmental targets; all set within the context of a place that’s world famous for its heritage and history. You’ll bring a positive mindset to complex and emotive projects, working with others to arrive at the right solution for our district.
