The local presentations felt very much like a ‘tick box’ exercise i.e. this is MC’s way of satisfying their obligation to consult the public but there is no actual consulting going on. Those employees sent to answer questions couldn’t answer anything. There was much ‘I understand totally your point of view, and ‘I don’t have that information with me ’, alongside ‘that isn’t my department’. The council may have the evidence from assessments etc but they have disregarded anything that didn’t fit in with their preconceived plans. The maps were terrible with street names greyed out and the orientation unclear.
