Instructions for participation at tonight's Planning Committee - Is this digital inclusion?

Readers will be aware of the discussion that has taken place over tonight's 'virtual' Planning Committee. Critics claim that it would be better to postpone the meeting until such time as residents can take part easily.

The Council claim that their arrangements via Zoom or telephone enable participation if requested with the usual notice.

These are the 8 pages of instructions for participation sent out by the Council. I will leave it up to readers to make up their own minds on whether 'digital exclusion' is at work here. Click bottom right corner for full page version.
