Director of TOWN. Occasional, opinionated tweets about urbanism, planning, the sorry state of social democracy, etc. Views mine only.

@chdot He might fit in to CEC - sarcasm??
Slide 5: 1000 new car park spaces; slide 6: 400 car park spaces. Zero mention of cycling.
He may cycle, but is it part of his professional thinking?

Executive Director - Place
Edinburgh is an outstanding capital city, recognised across the globe as a leader in business, the arts, science and education. Home to the internationally renowned Edinburgh festivals and the Scottish Parliament, it is an exciting city in which to live, work, study, visit and invest.
The City of Edinburgh Council plays a central role in shaping the continued success of Edinburgh as a vibrant, future focused city. Our responsibilities are wide-ranging, from a superb school network through to social work, housing, economic development, parks and green spaces, culture and sport, festivals and events, roads and transport. As the second largest employer in the city with 19,000 employees and a budget of over £1bn, like many local authorities, the Council is facing challenge and opportunity and must continue to adapt to succeed in a changing world.
We are now recruiting for an Executive Director - Place. The post has responsibility for the development and delivery of a range of front line locality based and city-wide services as well as delivery of the overall strategic objectives of the Council. This is a challenging role and will provide an opportunity to help shape the successful future of Scotland’s capital city.
Significant experience of leading and managing large scale services (such as travel, transport, roads, planning, housing and environment) is required together with an innovative approach and demonstrable experience of developing and maintaining key strategic relationships with external stakeholders to optimise the delivery of services.

His Twitter feed:
He retweeted that Guardian Cities story about Munich's plan for autobahns for bikes, and the Cycle Hub in Stockport.
He also retweeted Stockport Camra's tweet about Stockport Beer Week, and makes a few mentions of pubs and decent beer.
All that's missing is a tweet about cake (although he does have one about Stockport's Foodie Friday).I think he shows promise. We should invite him along to a CCE beer night. :-)

A report on the feedback from the festival directors, whose criticisms have not been individually attributed, said they had also made “numerous positive comments” about the support they received from the council and singled out several officers for praise.The new report, by the council’s executive director of place, Paul Lawrence, said “immediate action” had already been taken in response to feedback from the directors, who also represented events such as the book, jazz and film festivals, as well as the Mela multicultural celebration.
Mr Lawrence said: “Festival colleagues made suggestions for better communication, more awareness of the festivals as key stakeholders in and contributors to the city’s success, and more intensive care of the city’s public spaces.
