Hi Joe, There was an excellent documentary programme on BBC 1 last night about water usage and conservation. I thought it was objective and impartial, which is a refreshing change from the usual infotainment rubbish. You might be able to see it with 'catch up on demand' or similar. Very topical and it should give you the inspiration you are seeking. Ray

Joe If all the utilities got their act together and cooperated in planning when they dig up the streets and pavements - one of the key objectives of the New Roads and Streetworks Act 1980, then there would be major environmental and other savings. In terms of other environmental issues, new technology coming to some possible rescue. http://www.nuphalt.com/ This is not the only new kid on the block.

I agree with Peter. Give them a presentation on their environmental aspects and impact when conducting their street and road works. What impact does that 3 mile diversion have on the environment etc.

Thanks guys for the input . Really helped, I have based it on the nu-phalt system that peter suggested . With a few pointers thrown in for good measure , I just found it easyier to condense into 10 mins The contaminated land / brownfield site i was afraid of being shot down in front of the interviewers as the subject is far larger . cheers again guys much appreciated , yet again j

Joe A couple of weeks back there was some suggestion from the govt that LAs should charge the utility compamies for digging up the highways at peak times. You might wish to include some reference or just mention during your presentation.
