Sceptically speaking, I doubt that once ‘their’ mind is made up little will be changed. And what exactly does ‘consultation’ mean? I have been through such a process in my professional career where despite almost unanimous objections nothing changed. Remove the go-karts for a car park (no doubt with a pay and display facility and patrolling traffic wardens – sorry, I mean civil enforcement officers)? The go-karts should stay. Remove the golf course... a brilliant step forward in providing facilities. I didn’t know anything about a public meeting. So, Worthing Council, let’s have a referendum. Actually ask the people who pay their council tax. Yup, a good idea. Send out a voting form to us residents. Itemise the changes. We tick a box for changes we agree with and cross ones we don’t. Then implement people’s wishes. If the vote is remove the golf course, go-karts and other facilities, then okay. I believe, Worthing Council, they call that democracy.
