The Local Plan
We have been delighted with the response of the public to the consultation process. The numbers responding are far more than those we got for the LDF, particularly those on line. What is even more satisfying is the tone of responses, which in the vast majority of cases are thoughtful, rational and constructive, indicating an understanding of the complexities of the decisions to be taken.
It has occurred to me that we might extend the consultation period for a further month to fully engage with all the issues presented, because this document spells out the future of Kirklees for the next two decades.
If members of the public want even more detailed discussion on a Ward basis, all Councillors have been equipped with detailed copies of the Plan and Executive Summary and relevant maps, and I am sure would be capable of guiding their electors through the process.
