A change in “hearts and minds” will be required both locally and at a national level for the project to be successful.
This is a major change, which will cost money and can not happen overnight. Some of the solutions will require large budgets & planning.
Short-term temporary solutions may be needed to improve areas of concern in order to improve the situation but this is unlikely to meet our long term aims.
Developing the plan of where we want to be is only the start.
If a plan is accepted finding the budget to implement is seen as a major barrier given the current climate.
Some changes may need to wait until the location is being uplifted. The key thing is to have the plan of what we would like to have once the uplift is done.
