WITH reference to Poole Council’s publicised ‘consultation’ exercise about turning off many street lights between midnight and 6am, Julian McLaughlin, Head of Transportation Services, stated “we encourage residents... to respond so that (council) members can make an informed decision whether to proceed with the trial”.
During Poole BC’s recent consultation about green bin charges, two-thirds of residents said ‘No’ to the scheme, but Poole BC went ahead anyway.
Little wonder, Mr McLaughlin, that residents are highly sceptical about your intentions.
So residents, watch out for some highly creative PR nonsense over the next couple of months.
