Richard Stones OBE and Baxi Motylska

Richard Stones OBE and Baxi Motylska, directors of Alfreton-based CPTED-UK, have been appointed experts for the Design Council, a British Government advisory body.

CPTED-UK supports developers and architects in security-related matters

Their designing out crime skills will contribute to Design Council’s thought leadership role and influence the approach to the design of products, services, and environments in the UK. Participation in the work of the Design Council also allow them to exchange knowledge with other Experts within the network in a community of practice.

Design Council is a Royal Charter charity that works in the public interest. It was established by Winston Churchill’s wartime government in December 1944 to support Britain’s economic recovery. It works with several government agencies and organisations such as Local Government Association, Highways Agency, or Building Research Establishment (BRE) providing expertise in support of the development of policies, guidelines, and procedures.

Over the next four years the Design Council will use its wealth of research, evidence, experience, and expertise to help tackle challenges around three key areas: health and wellbeing, sustainable living, and design skills. CPTED-UK says its mission is closely aligned to those priorities.
