Another failed public consultation

Last week saw the failure of yet another Government consultation. The consultation on the third runway at Heathrow Airport was "deemed invalid" by the High Court in London. Click here for details.
The result will mean delays and costs for the developer.
Further anxiety for the local communities involved.
Increased costs for the tax payer.
The Government's response is that the outcome to any further consultation will not be changed!

If only the Government followed rigorous and robust process in these situations the consultation might stand more chance of being worthwhile and constructive.
