I hope this is not just another ‘ticked box’ excercise and that the local people do indeed get the opportunity to INFLUENCE important decisions about the areas in which they live. Good if it works 🙂
I agree with Dizzy’s comment – you do get the feeling when you attend these ‘consultations’ that it is just another ‘paper exercise’…….decisions have already been made. I wish I wasn’t so cynical!
