There was a consultation process. The Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government asked a company called Four Communications to carry out a programme of what is rather inelegantly called “stakeholder engagement”. It was conducted in the latter half of 2018. The company talked to a variety of local residents and businesses and got some feedback. I suppose all I would say is that the combined population of those two wards is 21,100 people, and the total number of people, either individuals or businesses, who were consulted was 3,657, a slightly different figure from the 21,000 residents, so I am not sure how exhaustive that consultation process was.
