Hart Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee is going to examine the decision making process surrounding the recently withdrawn Housing Options Consultation. The terms of reference are:
- How decisions were made to approve and authorise the Refined Housing Options Consultation going ‘live’ in November 2015
- How decisions were made to alter consultation documents part way through the consultation process
- On what basis and rationale were decisions taken to withdraw the consultation
- Identify actions that the Council should take and recommend improvements to the process in regards to future consultation exercises.
The Committee hope to produce a report during February 2016. They have invited representations from local groups, so We Heart Hart will put in a submission.

James Renwick, you are making the fatal mistake of applying logic to the situation. 😉

I would have though they would need to wait for the output of the overview and scrutiny committee since it is looking at the inputs to the consultation

The rumours I hear are that they want to run the new consultation starting either at the back end of next week, or the week after. Sounds bonkers to me when the new SHMA is due in late Feb, maybe with headline results before that. So it is highly likely the evidence base is going to change during the consultation. Barking.

Will they still try to rerun the consultation before this is complete?

They are independent of Cabinet. But there is a bit of a suggestion that the council is investigating itself.

Surely it should be an independent committee investigating? Those responsible for this shambles should be removed from thier positions.
