| Comment | This reads like most of the communication I've had with the council. I always get the impression that the council have a different interpretation of 'consulatation' than the general public do.
The public think that consultations are where we get to speak with council officials, get our points across and give the council some input on how future plans could and should be devised, while the council see consultations as sitting down with the public to inform us about what plans have already been devised.
Someone mentioned above about a single issue party. Have you (op) considered forming some kind of committee led community action group? Taking your one man project and building it into an organised team with a dual mission of (i) organising and performing clean up days, and (ii) political lobbying and PR. Might be worth thinking about. I'm sure you'll have no shortage of folk wanting to help get such a thing organised and off the ground. |
