Doncaster become the latest council to announce that residents want their homes pulled down - to the complete confusion of residents. After claiming that 61% of residents agreed with the council demolition the council has been facing a backlash as residents go door to door with their own survey.
This was pretty much the experience of residents here in Saltwell and Bensham. The council claimed 74% supported their plan but when the actual figures were produced only 25% actually stated suport. A further 49% supported the council plan without the demolition element and 20% rejected it.
Mexborough residents accused the council of bullying and pushing residents towards answers. This sounds very similar to the questions asked in Saltwell and Bensham such as "Do you want more green spaces" - which implied demolition without using the 'd' word.
Most pathfinder residents will have been bewildered by the so-called consultation exercise - designed to get a pro-demoltion majority. Another nail in the coffin of real consultation.
