Niall Hobhouse to Nick Macer
Thanks so much. If you have a chance, have a look at the archive correspondence particularly in August and September. You will see that there was a pretty universal howl of concern from the gardeners about the points of the zig zags. We are thinking about that, and how we might modify the path layout.
On the layout itself, it might be worth working through the pdfs of the Foreign Office scheme. The criteria on which they based their research (and which ultimately produced their scheme) is very specific indeed to the site.
The whole point of the exercise has been to provoke reactions, both positive and negative. Yours is a treat.
