My Work
Martin Stott recycling
Most of my work in sustainable development over the past twenty years or so has been in UK local government. Until the end of September 2011 I worked for Warwickshire County Council as Head of Environment and Resources.
However after over 25 years as an elected member or officer, I left Warwickshire CC and local government, at the end of September 2011. You can see my reflections on local government, in an article in Town and Country Planning below.
I am now spending more time working on supporting local authorities and their staff in establishing social enterprises and ‘staff mutuals’ with LaunchPad. LaunchPad is a consortium of specialists with with finance, legal, change management and public sector experience, who have come together to support public sector organizations engaged in service redesign and who are seeking to establish joint ventures, social enterprises and staff mutuals as part of that process. We are based in London. You will find a ‘flier’ for LaunchPad’s services below. Here is the link to our website.
I also have a number of other significant projects and commitments. Most important of these is the Fund for the Environment and Urban Life based in Englewood, NJ and Berkeley, California. I am its UK Advisory Board member. I am also a Trustee of Garden Organic.
