Owner Brown Boots Town Planning

Seasons Greetings. Here at Brown Boots Town Planning we are taking time to reflect on what has happened over the last 12 months and The Game carries on and it is game. Those 12 months have mainly been filled with veiled threats from the judiciary,  admin, mainly admin, emails, back and forth with Local Planning Authorities who on the face of it are being difficult for difficults sake, but underneath they are struggling to provide any kind of service because of the last 14 years of degradation, incompetence and the emergence of management by people who want to be managers. The best managers are the ones that don’t want to be managers (The great Bob Paisley), the art of understanding The Game, natural ability to understand people, decision making and clear judgement, knowing the consequences of their actions.  This approach is rapidly being lost in a fog of self preservation and conflict avoidance or  governance by people who quite simply are having their strings pulled on the promise of an extra days leave or the extra few quid we all need. I read a lot of self congratulatory posts, self praise demonstrating single mindedness of career progression or how they have reinvented the wheel, demonstrating publicly how they can do the job, I find it quite sad really, I think people are enveloped by their work (profession) more than ever, you are never away from it,   the days of turning up completing a task to a good standard simply isn’t good enough anymore, maybe the seeping of academia into professional jobs, the incessant need for people to add their two pence worth, correcting people where it is really isn’t required, reminder asking a question isn’t questioning someones integrity, its about understanding or trying to understand. So here at Brown Boots Town Planning we  try and see through the BS and do a job to the highest standard with the dedication to the task to get from A to B as quickly as possible, no flowery language and no farming of the wicket. Its all about respect for the job you are doing. Hopefully everyone finds the time this Christmas to get away from the prolific musings regarding the NPPF 2024, the clatter of big wigs trying  have their voice heard over footnote 63, step back have a pint of bitter and a cheese and onion cob and think,  that is exactly what I’ll be doing this afternoon at the Brown Boots Town Planning Christmas do. We do things different here. Have a good Christmas and New Year and give me a call if you require my services in the new year for simply straightforward advice on subjects which are made unnecessarily difficult by people who believe they are brighter than you.  I leave with a link to The Game Echo and the Bunnymen, we are all in the game and the game continues in 2025. https://lnkd.in/e3NTZkZY
