Dear Phillipa This is my first year in local government following 10 years on the other side of the fence, and so production of the AMR last year was my first real experience of them. We have since production of our 2009 AMR reviewed our Monitoring Framework for inclusion in the Submission Draft of our Core Strategy. This has been very helpful in terms of sourcing of indicators and the ways in which we can measure and monitor our proposed policies. However I am a little concerned that at present the AMR is a produced because it has to be, rather than being what is a potentially very informative document. I would be most interested in becoming involved in your exercise, to produce a more meaningful AMR for 2010.
