Month by month the Place Bulletin is a one-stop shop for the latest news and developments in the place management industry.

For those new to the Bulletin; whether you're a town centre manager, an academic, policy maker or anything in between, we aim to bring you some of the stories relevant to you which have caught our eye over the past month.

This month's Bulletin includes plenty of news from the Uk Government, with a number of place related developments coming to light over the past month. We also have a story from the Guardian about an inner-city recreation facility that is encouraging local youths to take responsibility for its maintenance, ensuring that it remains free of vandalism. In addition, we have news on the disparity of design and access statements between local authorities, and we have some encouraging news concerning the ongoing challenge to keep Britain tidy.

Plus, as usual, we have a number of IPM updates to keep you up to speed with the latest goings on, this month we have some news on the forthcoming annual membership survey and the CPD codes for the latest batch of key readings.
