The opposition was only given a few days to read through over 700 pages of the plan before being asked to vote on it going to consultation. This document failed to have page numbering meaning cross-referencing was very difficult. The opposition party were only given a formal brief over one week after the consultation started. On the first day the website had some issues so did not have access to the plan. WBC were told they were omitting a large proportion of the population from this consultation, but they have failed to rectify that.
