Do you think we are suffering from consultation overload – the point at which we are being asked too many times for our views on the latest policies or plans? Take part in our weekly email poll by clicking the links below and emailing us your vote! Click ‘Green’ if you think the number of consultations going on is about right Click ‘Amber’ if you are nearing consultation overload Click ‘Red’ if you think we have reached consultation overload.
