There is considerable factual evidence to show that the council has:
 acted unethically in ignoring previous consultations and secretly prescribing the way forward, creating a discriminatory two-tier process;
 misled residents as to what can and cannot be included in the HAAP;
 misrepresented, and ignored, the both the views residents and of its own experts;
 Whitewashed' residents complaints and undertaken knee-jerk cover-ups.

It appears intent with implementing its own preferred solution at all costs. The only outstanding question is "Why"?

Accordingly, the current HAAP review needs to be aborted and restarted in due course on a proper grounding, which takes proper account of the views of experts and residents.

The council lacks transparency and integrity. It is therefore also essential that a thorough review is required to ensure that RDC's ongoing policies and practices are fully appropriate, transparent and the public can have confidence in them.
