I see the WPCC has now put a more detailed description of how the Heritage Foundation grant will be used. See https://www.wpcc.org.uk/main/heritage-lottery-grant. Their original press release was dated the 20th September, getting on for a month ago. I think my FOI request to see their application made to the Heritage Foundation was a wake up call.They have not described the changes in management structure that arise from the project. Here is the relevant section:How will your project be managed“Overall project management will be the responsibility of (redacted), Chief Executive. Barker Langham are the external project managers responsible for delivery of the masterplan, conservation management plan, audience development strategy, volunteer development plan, education and interpretation plan and business plan. WPCC will have overall responsibility for the financial management of the project.WPCC is managed by a small team of staff and this project offers an ideal opportunity to improve capacity and resilience. (Redacted) Chief Operations Manager, will step up to the Chief Executive role part time. This will develop his managerial and leadership skills and broaden the resilience of the organisation. A part time position will be recruited to back fill his work taken by one of the junior members of the management team, offering them an insight into the wider management of the Commons and again providing their staff with opportunities to gain managerial supervisory experience.“
