Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation
Representation ID: 4101
Received: 30/08/2021
Respondent: Debbie Irish
Based on the totally unacceptable approach taken by the BBC and EWR to consultation to date on the EWR and other plans, I would want to see a transparent, detailed, timely and well communicated series of reports before anything is agreed to. Putting a couple of small ads in local papers that are not read by the community, or posting a handful of individual leaflets is NOT public consultation. Include the people, and have the decency to actually include the parish councils before developing plans (and not pretend that you have done so).
