This environment needs cherishing. You would not countenance bulldozing the Public Record Office, yet sources for the Bronze Age are being ploughed up every day - too often as a result of misdirected agricultural support payments. Such damage is irreversible. Turf scuffed by tourists' feet will regrow. Archaeology will not.
Many bad developments are recent, the result of short-term expediency.
So please, in considering these matters, think long-term. To do your job you will need head and heart together. The well- being we derive from our surroundings often rests in things which lie beyond the measures of accountancy. Business disciplines are useful in government, but remember that experiences which enrich daily lives are not easily reducible to figures in business plans. There are a few points I would like you to bear in mind as you start your new job.
