Go Ape planning notices were inadequate

The council has made great play of the Go Ape consultation in which it invited responses from local people and organisations. However, the process was missed by the majority of park users, leaving them alienated and angry. The council should have stuck to the tried-and-tested planning notices. It is a legal requirement of applications that they are displayed in the vicinity of the proposed development for 21days. I use Pollok Park two to three times a week and I never observed any planning notice for the creation of the Go Ape facility.
