Judging from the lack of comments, either traffic is perfect or no one pulled their head out of the sand to read the blog.

Sometimes people just don't comment. At this point about 70 people have read this post, or at least clicked on the page.
It would be useful for someone to explain a little more about what the County Council is looking for at this meeting. What is the process? What role do ordinary citizens play?
