Alasdair,

I'm in two minds about this sort of event. NHDC have a sorry history of of wasting people's time in "consultations" and similar exercises and then not following up with anything worthwhile. I would be tempted to write to them suggesting that some action on previous initiatives, e.g. the cycle network and Hitchin Transport Vision, is necessary before they can establish the credibility to expect people to spend more time with them at this sort of event. If nobody turned up they might start to get the message.
