š š»The 50 Shades of Planning Festive Christmas Quiz - Manchesterš¤¶š»
Description
Itās cold, dark and miserable and, alas, there is little in Michael Goveās recent Written Ministerial Statement to warm the cockles of a plannerās heart. Hopefully then the return of the 50 Shades of Planning Festive Christmas Quiz will spread some seasonal cheer.
Even by the standards of the fast-paced, ever-changing, rock and roll world of town and country planning it has been quite a year. With the help of Richard Garlick at Planning magazine, who provided Sam Stafford with some of the most-read stories on PlanningResource.co.uk, Sam quizzes some of the 50 Shades alumni on 2022ās highlights and lowlights.
Expect fun, frivolity and an appearance from a very special guestā¦
