1. The consultation period ran from 16th August until 11th October - 49 days - but the pamphlet was posted through our letterbox on the 5th October —6 days before any comments had to be received by the organisers. This is an unacceptable practice. There is very little time for the proposals to be discussed by neighbours and friends and with Streetly Community Library being closed on Mondays this effectively reduces the period to deliver your comments to 4 days if proof of delivery at the library is requested. This is again unacceptable and suggests that this is a deliberate ploy by the authorities to limit any residents' comments. Indeed, it is understood that all Walsall libraries are closed on Mondays.
2. It would be expected that a copy of the proposals would be delivered to each Streetly household, but this is certainly not the case, with many homes being unaware of any pamphlet.
