He is the person who initiated the argument around volume rather than quality. I have a big concern, and I suggest he should have similar concerns, that he does not have an adequate procedure or process to check authenticity of objections lodged. I do not deny the right of any resident to lodge an objection but given the weight he attached to the objections, surely he had a duty to ensure their accuracy and validity. I say to him that he did not do that. I suggest that he was negligent as a local authority representative in not doing so given this was the key point on which his decision hinged.
