    Very.  It put alot of rumours to rest.Quite useful, but it needs more detail.We have no confidence in anything that was said!
    Very usefulNaDifferent members of the team gave different answers to the same questions, which was concerning. I have tried to include my concerns in the boxes above.
    Very usefulIt threw up more questions than answers  Very useful as it is now possible to see the huge flaws in the proposal  
    UsefulIt was great to understand the plans, but I don’t feel this is being implemented in the best interest of the terrace.  I think the event was a PR exercise to deflect away from the fact our lovely little stream and green corridor will be lost. I do not think the proposed solution will help the village as a whole. It will result in a far more urban feel to the village and I worry sewage and poor quality water from farmers will end up on the beach. ...chldren play in the stream on the beach .... the quality of the water is of great concern to me. I still have no clear answers to my concerns as different people from the Environment Agency said different things about my concerns. It is all very worrying.
