We attended several meetings during the previous consultation into tyre burning, but we do not intend to go again as it is all a FIX. There is no realistic meaningful dialogue and they hold all the Aces - and all up their sleeves at that!

Why do you bother to talk to these people? They are dishonest and just a waste of space, a waste of Public time and money. It would be better if no-one at all turned up to such a travesty of a consultation. They would make appropriate fodder for the kiln - any old garbage will do!

Ex-consultee!
