As part of the expanding range of advice and guidance produced by the CBA to enhance local advocacy capabilities, the Local Heritage Engagement Network have produced two new documents for their toolkit (http://new.archaeologyuk.org/lhen-toolkit):

Toolkit 9: Local Authority cuts: Case studies - This document contains information on the types of cuts which many local authorities are making to their heritage services, and how to formulate arguments against them or propose alternate options.

Toolkit 10: Getting involved with Neighbourhood Planning: Advice for the historic environment - This document seeks to fill a gap in available advice specifically about incorporating historic environment policies into neighbourhood plans and how individuals and groups with an interest in archaeology or heritage can get involved in the process.
