Mr. Tim Murnane:

As I have talked about, engineering is a very noble profession. We want to work with you to deliver stuff whereas, sometimes local authorities are more inclined to gold-plate things as I talked about earlier, making it more difficult than it should be whereas we are all on the same team here. We want to solve the housing crisis and the infrastructural challenges. We want to work together. If local authorities adopted that collaborative approach, they could make life a lot easier on themselves and use us. In theory, in that situation, we are coming in with a planning application and representing AN Other. Ultimately, as engineers, we have to stand over the designs we are producing and we are not trying to catch anyone out. That mindset is really important, and that collaboration. We are all on the same team and trying to do the same things. All of a sudden, that would ease demands on local authorities. They should not be the police trying to catch us out. We should be working together to get the best designs. They would be my observations on local authorities.
