Mick, how do you know that people are not interested?
I saw this post when I was on the top deck of a bus, sat in a traffic Jam on the way to Southport.
Because people have not replied does not signify a lack of interest.
People may have gone to see the plans on Saturday.....or they may plan to look at them during this week.
I know that we will be looking......and of we had known about this earlier than Saturday, we might have looked while the architect of these plans was there.

To be truthful, the main damage to the town was done way back.....and no council has had any interest in doing much about it.
The new bus station(for many) is in the wrong place, but it was rubber stamped, with not a hope in hell of changing it......and you know full well how much discussion it provoked on here.
This development is at a late stage and the fact that the plans were/ are up to be viewed means nothing......it wouldn't make one iota of difference if every resident of the town went down there a spit a flea into the architects ear.....it would STILL all go ahead as those in power want it to, because that is how it is.
We aren't asked because they are interested in our views, it is just so that they can say ' we asked the residents for their views'.
