Ownership of most of the monuments remains in the hands of the Government. English Heritage's role is not yet set via a statutory instrument so they are presently temporary custodians until 2022/23 (though everyone involved will be hoping that it becomes permanent).<br /><br />The best case scenario for the charity would be if they achieve goals that have a high perceived value but have not (or could not) been achieved under the old statutory format. The worst case would be if, after the 8 years are up, they are seen to be an under-performing version of the old format (that would leave them open to challenge from providers who can offer better value to the public)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Jon Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264966739582178631noreply@blogger.com
