observer Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (ww news) Have you responded to the "consultation"? Will it make a difference, or will it go the way of previous "visions" - nowhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I would prefer to discuss the vision of today, and rectify that before discussing something 20 years in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 At least they are asking us I suppose I've not received a copy of the questionnaire through my door yet. Has anyone else or does it arrive with our new blue bins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 So does that mean every household isn't getting a copy of Warrington's consultation it after all then I've just had a look via the front page link (thans Gary et al) and although I was trying to be possitive for a change it's all so over the top and confusing that I can't see people bothering to read all the stuff let alone filling the questionnaire in Although it's online that in itself infers that they are expecting people to specifically look for it, download it, read all 45 pages of the plan (or was it 54 I got bored) and fill it in ... although you can 'request' a paper copy Will most people actually bother doing that (although obviously 'SOME' will who fully support it ) Did you read and understand a word of it or did you get bored of the technical twaddle after the first few pages too Did you also look at the online questionnaire.. I did.... did you fill it in?... I didn't There are various statement followed by 'do you agree' but no tick boxes just boxes for comments(what comments as I didn't completely understand it all) So after all my good intentions I didn't actually bother... maybe another day when I have more time on my hands Quite simply if it doesn't grab people's attention in the first 1-2 pages in a straight forward but exciting vision (and make us believe our views are important and that by replying we could make a difference in shaping of Warrington's future or other issues).... then I guess most of us probably just wont bother. At least a consultation will have taken place though eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Please just ignore me I've got my waffling head on but it made me feel better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Dismayed. It doesn't matter whether people fill it in. They have consulted and can tick the box. End of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 It's full of well intentioned aspirations - problem is:- they'll never have the funding or the legal powers, or in the case of the Quangos the democratic control, to carry it out.
