Significant drop in APT blog traffic; very worrying

Morning all

I have just got around to checking the stats for the blog and April 2013 has been a very slow month so far in terms of blog traffic; in fact, to date, I have seen only 10% of the number of visits that the blog received for April 2012.   

It could of course be that April 2012 was a bumper month - it was pre-election - but it does give me cause for concern.

This is a very significant time for planning with the publication of two exceptionally important Government documents imminent and none of us can afford to take our eyes of the ball now.

I would appreciate the help of readers in encouraging as many people as possible to follow the blog in the next few months.

Thank you

UPDATE:

I have checkedthe relevant Scottish Government web pages to see if there is any further information regarding either the consultation on the 'Third National Planning Framework' or 'Scottish Planning Policy' and there is no indication of a publication date for either.  Each page simply states that the document will be published after the Easter Parliamentary Recess.

I thought a quick telephone call would help but sadly the Government's 'Planning and Architecture Division' could provide no further detail -  other than to refer me to the statements on the web site.

Let us keep checking
