When we held a public meeting a few weeks ago, I received 22 comments forms from members of the public returned from people who wanted the scheme (we did not accept any from any officers from the council as we already know their views) and only 3 from people who objected (and two of those kept their options open a bit). There have been four meetings and although the turnout for each of them hasn't been overly high - added together the numbers are significant.

not everone has internet or knowledge of how to approach you
however there are over 500 members here and i think its safe to say most dont want this so i depend how popular it is depends where you look
we have a run down park called milshaw park would that not benifit more from a scheme like this as you mentioned earlier they are using a park in burnley so why not use a park in accrington that desperatly needs some help rather than deface the coppice
