Welcome to May’s issue of the IPM CPD Mail, the monthly one stop shop for all your CPD requirements. Published on the 3rd Monday of each month, the CPD Mail contains links to IPM accredited CPD resources as well as events, enabling you to accrue CPD points on a manageable month by month basis.
Each CPD mail contains links to exclusive new CPD opportunities, as well as a round up of other resources which you will have had chance to access already.

Towards a new Urbanism: An International Symposium on the 21st Century City David Lock, Chairman, TCPA (60 points available)
The Debate: CORB - hero or villain?

CPD Mail Resource – ENCAMS paper - Good Graffiti, Bad Graffiti? A New Approach to an Old Problem
(60 points available)
The aim of the research described in this report was to understand the public's attitudes towards graffiti and what would encourage them to report it to their local authorities. It was also used to gather evidence on local authority responses to graffiti including graffiti walls. The report is likely to be of interest to local authorities, housing associations, transport authorities and any other land managers who want to deal with the problem of graffiti as the findings presented here can be used to inform their approach.
