Excellent, thanks for the heads up Tony. I've been looking forward to seeing this. That probably makes me a bit sad.

£218!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????????

[Gary Prentice]

Over two hundred quid for a copy:sneaky2: it would be useful for my studies but I can't justify that level of expenditure. The question was asked at collage recently who had copies of the tree work recommendations, four LA tree officers didn't, amongst others from major contracting concerns.

 

The reason generally given was cost. As most of the people involved in formulating the standard aren 't paid or even get expenses, why are they so dear ?

[Paul Barton]

If only there was a way to form a cooperative to share the cost of a copy. Just saying.

It is a poor do when local authorities specify that works have to be done in accordance with something that they have never seen or as 1 I spoke to recently, didn't even know that bs3998 had been revised in 2010 :-/

Also had clients ask to look at copies when trying to explain that works should be carried out to bs...... and not just hacked.

The high cost for what is just a few sheets of paper or a costless download is ridiculous and makes trying to work to it and promote professional standards harder, if it was less even say £50 surely they would sell more copies an thus make more from its existence??
