Ms Attracta U? Bhroin:

One additional point is there is an overriding concern in terms of local government democracy and the voice of councillors basically to be able to represent their constituencies - as I am sure every member here will relate to - on those concerns and being able to feed that into the process. It is a balance in monitoring variation response. There is a concern in that regard and about the timescales for elected representatives and how some of them could effectively feel disenfranchised from the process of a county development plan. It is a complex one.
