By general agreement, the Group continued for a further series beginning in September 2004. Suggested themes for discussion were to include the regeneration impact on people versus places; housing; planning legislation; Sustainable Communities plan; the sub-regional framework; skills.  A visit to see European examples of housing projects was suggested (This would take place instead of a meeting.)  The series started with a flexible programme and the idea of organising other events during the year, for example masterclasses and possibly a conference bringing all the work together, and publishing the reports of meetings.  Local visits incuded Bexley, Croydon, Wembly and Stratford.  The European tour was to Dutch Cities.  Members 2004-2005
