Oppose

It is clear that the SLDC team have done a very professional and thorough job on preparing the paperwork BUT for the "average" resident it has been an overwhelming experience. So much so that many I have spoken to have given up trying to respond because:
1. There was too much written information which they had neither the time, inclination, and in some cases the education, to get to grips with.
2. The Number of sheets in the response form and the way it was presented was felt to be intimidating to some residents who could nbot understand what was required. A simpler 2 page document would often have sufficed.
3. Much of the work was on computer/web which in our area, even today, is not readily accessible by most residents. In addition the size of the data made downloading difficult for some, and the cost of hard copy of all the relevant documents would have been prohibitive.
4. The "Roadshows" were limited in the time they spent in the area, and in frequency. Many residents could not attend during the day set aside for Burneside.
As a result, the views you receive from the area may not be representative in quantity of quality thus making the exercise flawed.
