One statement was worded as follows:

“Recording and Purpose of Public Forum Statements

I'm aware that there may be an unusual number of public forum statements at this meeting, commenting on plans to develop Hengrove Park.   A lot of effort will have gone into them.

Previous experience tells me that once presented, these statements are archived, and are not readily available to anyone.  In other words, they simply gather dust.

I'd like to ask this NP meeting, through the chair, to ensure that the statements are wherever possible retained and passed on to any formal consultation on the Hengrove Park developments.

On the same principle, I'd like to ask that in future all public forum statements submitted in electronic form (not least this one!) are included in the minutes of the meeting that are eventually made available online.”

A copy of all of the Statements is contained in the Minute Book.
