Because its jib is backed?
Now, getting it off my chest time. Read no further of you can't abide criticism of the Authority!
Stakeholders, that's us lot, you and me, not just the chosen, helpful few.
Was a time when, for many years, the Authority hosted annual, public meetings. It was at one such meeting that an Authority member referred to the likes of you and me 'as the little men', since coined as 'The Little People'. The comment was neither withdrawn nor did it elicit an apology and neither has it been forgotten nor forgiven.
That was when Dr Packman did engage with the 'real' stakeholders. Okay, so one or two meetings did end in an uproar but that was not the fault of the stakeholders. The wider public is no longer engaged with. Open debate as in an open forum, no longer exists.
There used to be the Broads Forum, no longer. Whilst it was the puppet organisation that it started as all was very fine and dandy. When it became, in part, a dissenting group, it was inevitably wound down and no longer meets.
I have attended consultaions, sat around tables with an aligned Authority member recording comments and allegedly listening. Subsequent documentation often bearing little resemblance to the debate.
Attempts were made to disband the Navigation Committee.
Engaging with stakeholders, my rrrrrrs, as they say in Norfolk.
