Some of us are. We are trying to facilitate that as much as possible. I have obviously attended all the housing summits and have heard much of the good work that is happening which does not always get out into the media. Recognising where we have come from, we have now turned a corner, but it has taken time. The local authorities have done considerable work to get us to that point. There are many pinch points. We all know of particular sites in our own areas that cause frustration. We recognise the complexities, but at some point we have to move forward.
