In the last few months, we\u2019ve undertaken a  thorough review of the organisation and it is clear to us that the  current model is no longer workable. Over the recent period we have  worked really hard to meet BURA\u2019s obligations and to continue its  mission to support practitioners in these difficult times. We\u2019ve engaged  widely with members across the country and have developed our services  to meet their needs and we\u2019ve developed new services. We\u2019ve also cut  back our overheads to an absolute minimum. However, in common with many  of our members, we\u2019ve come to the view that a more radical approach is  necessary and our board has agreed that the time is right to draw a line  under BURA, whilst it can still control its own destiny, and initiate  voluntary liquidation.<\/p>\n<p>Reluctantly then, the  directors of the currently constituted company, having regard to its  financial position, have decided to commence voluntary liquidation  proceedings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An extraordinary general meeting for BURA members is scheduled to be held on September 6.<\/p>\n<p>Search Planning Resource: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.planningresource.co.uk\/news\/login\/1023558\/\" target=\"_blank\">LINK<\/a><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.planningresource.co.uk\/news\/login\/1023558\/\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British Urban Regeneration Association (BURA) has gone into voluntary liquidation, a move that was announced in a memo sent to members yesterday by BURA chair Jackie Sadek.
