Welcome to the March 2011 edition of the Place Bulletin. This month we have an update on national rough sleeping figures, a subject that we have covered twice before in recent months. We have news on the steps taken by Manchester to curb the proliferation of charity fundraisers in the city centre, we have a piece on a new local enterprise network in London, and we have a story from RUDI concerning the need for urban infrastructure to be updated to cope with the effects of climate change. In addition we have news on the merger of CABE and the Design Council, how Stockport is making the best of it’s vacant retail units, plus some pictures from the Nottingham Light Night event.
