Representation Summary:

The methods adopted by Harborough District Council for it's public consultation is extremely poor.
- The website is difficult to navigate and very confusing.
- A document as vital and important to every resident in the District should offer as many ways as possible to respond to it.
- It would seem to have been developed to discourage people from making any comment.

- It is possible that the use of electronic communication is easier and less time consuming for the officers, but everyone is the District has the right to have their say, not just the tech savvy.
