Option 2

The resident supports Option 2 as it aligns with central government proposals, ensuring consistency in policy execution across different levels of government. This option is perceived as the most sensible and feasible under the current circumstances, particularly because it adheres to the frameworks and agreements already accepted by other councils. The choice of Option 2 is also seen as a way to maintain legal and regulatory compliance, avoiding potential conflicts or renegotiations that could arise from diverging from established government directives.

Point No Comment
64.1 Option 2 seems the only sensible one. Option three is not consistent with what central Government proposed and as the council itself notes in its LTP document, it is hardly likely the new Government will re-negotiate a package which other councils have already adopted.
