Just noticed a comment on the GNE fb page from yesterday.
I won't bore you with the entire discussion, but it was about the 24 changes and the consultation that was issued.
According to the poster - neither herself nor other people she knows, apart from one particular street in Harlow Green, recieved the consultation.
GNE responded, by stating 8000 surveys had been distributed. They had 500 back.
What they are saying, is that the changes to the 1 and 24 are based on the idea of someone sitting in GNE towers, their JML computer and less than 10% of the initial sample.
I would be very surprised if the service carried 500 individual passengers from the area in question anyway, but I can't see all 500 of them to be in favour of the changes.
Even if a majority of say 400 people were in favour, GNE are taking the views of a tiny minority of the population into account. Basically, 5% of the people in the Chowdene, Allerdene, Harlow Green areas would be in favour of these proposals.
Similarly, I find the fact GNE have gone to the expense of printing and distributing 8000 questionaires, quite staggering.
