Recommendation 23
23
Paragraph: 101
Not enough is done to involve local people in decision making at an early stage.
Conclusion
Not enough is done to involve local people in decision making at an early stage. The Committee heard that decisions are made about a project before consultation happens, and that late consultation can be insufficient to overcome local opposition. This can result in delays to projects, but it can also lead to infrastructure which does not have full public support or serve local needs.
