“The students were faced with some very real
challenges, should they propose ideas that are very
unlikely to be adopted in the short term but may
influence long term development planning? Or should they go for simple
alternatives that are affordable and easy to
implement but still add value to the area in which
they are placed”- Gavin Tunstall,
