Marine National Park Consultation
Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2006 4:02 pm
The formal consultation by the Scottish Executive regarding the proposed Marine National Park has begun.
See <http://www.scotland.gov.uk/News/Release ... 0/10135242> for the consulation paper. At some point over the next 4 weeks there will be a 'roadshow' coming round with all singing and dancing displays to entice you to become a National Park resident.
There is no indication on the ScotExec. website as to when this is coming to the local area, but I assume it will be advertised locally - ensure you make your voices heard either by visiting or posting a response on the website.
Comically, watch the wee video with Ross Finnie, environment minister (if you have broadband) and see how, using classic politician speak, he manages to tell you that regardless of what people say during the consultation, they'll get a national park anyway. Makes you feel a little cynical about what consultation really means.
