  RE: Landscape Institute responds to critics Reply Contact The one issue that has been blurred has been accountability and responsibility. The LI has acknowledged that the facts -as presented by me- are correct. They simply object to my conclussions regarding potential wrongdoing and accusse me of being "deluded". This is not good enough. Resignations at all levels in the LI are long overdue and a major enquiry regarding this gastly affair should be launched as a matter of urgency. The "silent majority" has failed in its duty of scrutiny of the Boards actions. It has also failed to uphold fundamental professional values and our duty of care towards clients and the general public. This points towards mass "professional meltdown": we do not seem to be guided by any principles anymore, just convenience. Can Landscape Architecture continue to be considered a serious profession in the UK in the face of current and past events? I suspect that -without radical change- the answer is a rotund NO.

  RE: Landscape Institute responds to critics Reply Contact the trouble is that your views have been dis-credited and you have been dis-owned Gabino by your fellow EGM signatories because of your unevidenced cries of corruption and extremely abusive language and bullying of the Landscape Institute secretariat. Your claim that the LI has not upheld its duty of care to values and to clients and the public is another unsubstantiated piece of nonsense. There is no meltdown, as you would wish. There are well published guiding principles on the LI website. Yes, Landscape architecture can be considered a serious profession in the UK. It has undergone change as a result of the financial crisis everyone is experience and it will continue to do so with a governing body that is now made up of new and varied opinions including those of some of the EGM requisitioners. Your personal stance is a lone and now unbelieved voice.....ask your fellow EGM requisitioners if you don't believe me. best regards brodie mcallister FLI VPLI
