“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,
