They may look like 'engagement' but they're not, they're just a waste of time, effort, and money.I thought the point with most of these 'emergency' measures was that the physical change was effectively the consultation. Block off the end of a residential street and see what happens to traffic levels over the following weeks. Re-purpose some parking bays as pavement space and see if the economy implodes. Put in some badly-planned protected cycle lanes and see if the mistake agents unscrew the bollards, sort of thing.
