Someone said to me the other day, "It's okay if you mess up sometimes; It's much better to have lots of people trying their best and doing what they can in their imperfect ways, than a few people being perfect." x

Ideally 5 years to drill into issues, but what about risk of excluding voices from assembly, incl those not swayed by renumeration (no matter how significant)? Single parents & carers, early career, education, young & old, gender & health dimensions. All moot though: we're not in charge 😅

Where might I find drainage considerations incl SuDS for construction and operation, particularly near Cambridge? Cam Valley Forum & other river groups will want to know of potential impacts on river & aquifer, as the route cuts into the chalk and crosses chalk streams. Shep, Rhee etc

Glad to hear recent announcement for (partial) electrification. Thanks for listening to those concerned with green credentials of a scheme planned as diesel only. Still note no in-person consultation for Harston, Hauxton & Newton - villages affected by line, but no benefits of stops.

I agree! Deliberative/citizens assemblies, with a selection process by sortition? Decisions based on real information &deliberation NOT party, lobbying & entrenched interests. Imagine effect on country's political literacy. (Yes and if 1 yr it's not as disruptive of career, education & family)

Are there two which choose to mingle
So that each as one now hides?
