Today I finally submitted our response to this consultation – just a day or so before the deadline. It had been quite difficult to get hold of the plan. The online version with 2 landscape pages to a screen was virtually impossible to read. A hard copy of the main plan arrived some 4 weeks after we first requested it, and a hard copy of the all important Delivery Plan simply never arrived at all. But I was sent a different pdf version compressed to just one page per screen, so just about readable. Many, but not all of the SENRUG aspirations are already included in the Plan, not always worded as specifically as we would like. Plus of course we have some very reasonable new proposals to put forward which weren’t in the plan at all. Myself and other committee members have been burning the midnight oil drafting our response, which can be seen here.
