My colleagues and I were very impressed with the range of benefits your package has to offer us .We believe it will go a long way to meeting our obligations under PPG 17 but has added value in areas that are of special interest to us at the present i.e. CPA and Performance Management.  We would like to employ your specialist expertise and services and to subject Eastleigh's open spaces to your assessment process.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>Phil Lomax, Eastleigh Borough Council</I></div> <bR> <div> Our approach would provide you with detailed reports and produce a long term plan for the management of all of your sites, including training to allow your staff to undertake regular auditing from the customer's perspective in the future.  These staff would be trained to be able to carry out audits on either your own sites or those of other councils who are using the system.</div> <bR> <div> The end result would be an ongoing consultation and auditing system <B>linked to GIS,</B> that would allow you to show continuous improvement, identify priorities and the needs of the community.  The public are extensively involved in the System and it is a good way of setting up and/or reviewing Friends Groups too.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
