General hints on "Numbers Game" submissions
- Encourage group members to put in submissions by providing email address, website for finding information, and feedback forms
- You can hint about issues to consider but it is best to encourage people not to all use the same "boilerplate" (pro forma) text
- May be better for people to identify themselves as residents/voters rather than walkers/cyclists
- Personal experience/impact adds credibility to submissions i.e not just doing it because you were told to by a group
