It's now closed but they've had some technical problems, so you can email the address shown on the page for a few more days and it'll be taken into consideration if you describe how it wouldn't work before the deadline.

Thank you for any comments you left. 77% of responses opposed the car park and 71% opposed opening Harding's Way.

Job done, right?

Sadly not. Apparently, someone has decided not to count anyone who opposed all three current development options and thereby come out with the stunning result that 55% of people prefer option 3, which includes the car park and opening Harding's Way!

I wouldn't make this stuff up. It seems like "Yes Minister" or "The Thick Of It" at their maddest. The report containing the misleading 55% claim goes to a council panel meeting this evening.

More info at http://www.klwnbug.co.uk/2017/06/28/har ... 77-oppose/ - later updates will get linked in the comments section automatically.

That's like the
    1. Do you want to be punched in the head?
    or 2. Do you want to be punched in the stomach?
    or 3. Do you want to be kicked in the <sensitive male anatomy>?
And deciding people want to be punched in the head (because you ignore all voted that didn't want any of the proposed).
