OK How do I get my point across to the Consultation ?
1. write/email the National Park by 8th April 2005, as part of the consultative process
2. write/email the Scottish Executive in addition (they ultimately make the decision)
3. write/email the national papers
4. get friends, children who have flown, anyone supportive, to write a personal letter of support to the Consultation address
5. write/email local councillors, MSPs (Members of Scottish Parliament) and MPs.
6. blindcopy (BCC) any correspondence/email to campaign@seaplaneassociation.org.uk
IF YOU ONLY MAKE ONE SUBMISSION THEN THIS IS THE FIRST PRIORITY
Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Appointed Board Members
Why not email or write to all the 25 Board Members at the National Park address above? Ask them to oppose or justify the ban. Put pressure on them. Demand their attention and dont let them think they have a place to hide.
