He lectured at over forty universities and acted in a professional capacity in architecture and planning in the United Kingdom, Italy and the United States.

No Smoke without Fire... no Smoke without Damage. Concern Raised over Smoking in Pregnancy at County Public Health Panel
Towards the end of last year a report on smoking in pregnancy was presented to the County's Public Health Cabinet Panel by Herfordshire's Director of Public Health. Encouraging changes in behaviour to improve public health is a difficult and sensitive process. An authoritarian approach or attitudes by professionals that come across as scolding or blaming are counter productive and worse than useless. People engaging in behaviour that is risky - to themselves or to others - must be treated with the respect that is due to everyone. That means trusting the individual and focussing on the problem - her addiction to nicotine - and providing sympathetic help to escape from the situation.

East-West Rail moves into the next Phase as Work Proceeds on the Bletchley Flyover across the West Coast Mainline.
The long-awaited project to restore rail connections between Oxford and Cambridge and then on to the East Coast has been underway for some years and is now moving slowly through the next phase. This will bring the prospect of an easy public transport route for residents in Berkhamsted, Northchurch and Tring to either Oxford or Cambridge within sight. By using a regular bus to Aylesbury and then accessing rail services over rebuilt lines passengers could then reach Winslow, Bletchley, Milton Keynes and Bedford. Alternatively they could travel by train to Bletchley as usual and with one change reach Bicester, Oxford and beyond or Bedford via the Marston Vale Line.
