Consultation depends on the extent to which options are open or closed. If I tell a community that I am going to engage in full consultation when a decision to overground has been made, it is not consultation. Overcommunication could be viewed as just nagging people to the point at which they give up and say "okay". To what extent is the Government considering the range of options and which of those options are still open at the point of going to communication? This is the concern of both communities.
