Consultation process in general
Please explain your reasons
The current consultation process is heavily biased towards those who have access to the internet. Not all residents have this access.
I’m concerned that so many neighbours I’ve spoken to were not aware that the consultation was even happening, consequently many people affected by the proposals will not have had their say. For those who did, many have said they found the response form too complicated and off-putting, and several clicks down through your website.
The document browser contains an enormous list of documents. There is no key, abstract or summary to indicate what document can be found where. Many documents have ambiguous titles, making finding relevant information difficult, for example in the settlement fact file folder there is a document called “Kendal first part”, is there a second, third?
A lot of the information in the fact files seems to be presented like a spread sheet. Improved formatting would be better for text and spatially based analysis.
Maps of emerging options: there should be a key with every map.
