Consultations, the good, the bad and the ugly?

Some of you may be interested to read the article in the Society section
of yesterday's Guardian about good and bad consultation. When OCC
eventually produces the one on libraries, we need to be sure they really
are taking all necessary factors into account -- and that they don't
appear to have decided the outcome before they consult (they now CLAIM
to have an open mind).see also http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/mar/08/forests-sell-off-public-consultation
