Ms Pauline Foster:

On one front, there is the shift towards everything being online, which is an issue, particularly in my area where there is a very significant swathe of residents who do not even own a computer. That is an immediate shutter drawn down for them. Whenever there are consultations, the council does not come to us, we have to go to it. That could be addressed in a local way. It is only a small point but it would engage people a little bit more and they would feel more empowered to have a say.
