- Laura sent the form for ‘statutory access to land we manage’ to SMEs for review
- Toyah has been working on the marine customer platform with our development partners
- Lucinda has been working on user journey mapping / sign-in route for our flood warning service
- James is compiling a user research library

- Mary has been rolling out training to our Communications team about good practice when writing web content
- Jane and Sam had a check-in session with SMEs about our new a forest management plan content
- Sam has agreed our new digital waste tracking page. It follows a similar pattern to our ‘Buy a rod licence’ service, i.e. a brief explanation then a link off to the Gov.uk site. Sam also had a content design session about using change notes on our website. These would help users track how our guidance has changed over the years.
