Full text:

I object to lack of publicity and information on this proposal. I was only made aware of it by an announcement on BBC Essex about information packs not being delivered by contractors a couple of weeks before the closure date for objections, I then had to phone up to get a pack. This turned out to be a padded out toned down version of the June JAAP Report with the three lower growth options take out and all the objectionable facts watered down or removed, along with most of the numbers. Fortunately having already objected to the High Growth Option in the autumn I had some information. My neighbours and other people I meet in the area don't even seem to be aware of this proposal yet, let alone know that they only have another week to object.
