People who have expressed an interest in this issue will shortly be meeting to discuss how to respond. Initial suggestions include:
- Demonstrate theat the consultation process is flawed (most people don't seem to know about it) and the proposals are likely to be revised once central government targets for growth are delivered in July.
- Challenge the basis for the consultation ...... the total sample of returned questionnaires was small.
- Challenge the proposals on the basis of infrastructure issues (road access, road congestion, drainage, school capacity)
- Challenge the proposals on the basis of environmental issues (goes against guidelines for preserving countryside, etc)
- Challenge the proposals on the basis of economic reasons ... where are the jobs that 400-500 families would come to ?
- Make counter-proposals.
