Design prototype - the transport is live, but no video file is attached yet.

A single public meeting, on a working day, at the district office, quietly filters out shift workers, carers, people with mobility restrictions and anyone without transport. This lecture redesigns one such consultation into a small number of parallel formats that reach each of those groups without multiplying the budget.

Small and local beats large and central

Three short sessions held in different wards, at different times, typically surface more usable input than one large central meeting - and cost less, because travel and venue costs fall rather than rise with the split.
