Those are slightly different events because we are talking about the consultation on your work although those are important events in their own way. But it seems that you have a rather crude and simplistic approach to identifying people, arguably paying lip service to certain groups without even feeding back to those very people how those points are taken.

Ken, you are on record as saying that consultation is a good thing when people agree with you and a waste of time when people don't agree with you. Can you give us any examples of when you've changed your mind on something significant as a result of responses in consultation?

My question is about consultation and about improvements to the A406 around Bounds Green. Ken, can I take you back to the TfL board meeting that you chaired this week: would you agree with me and others present that it seemed clear to us that TfL officers had developed their proposals, that were in front of you and the board, around one set of options, namely, traffic calming measures and that they had completely ignored, or had not paid a lot of attention, to the views of residents?

I am asking, the people who turned up for meetings, what feedback did they get about the consultation meetings that they attended and how their work, or that meeting, influenced the strategies?
