A 'delivery failure' meant 100's of households in Everton never received the official flyer which promoted the public drop in event held at Everton Pavilion. Thankfully a few vigilant residents posted a copy of their flyer to the local facebook groups and were able to spread the word as best they could.
There was a strong turn out to the meeting, many frustrated residents as expected and some sighs of defeat, with some residents believing this is already a 'done deal'.
A local resident, Jane, had put up a sign objecting to the development (with the permission of Everton Pavilion) and to her surprise this was removed by Dandara representatives and hidden in the pavilion kitchen.
With more than an hour of the public drop in time remaining, the Dandara representatives ran out of feedback forms! How convenient.
At the meeting Dandara representatives assured us that they had sent flyers to every house within a 1km radius. Many residents on the 'Everton Residents Against Dandara Development' Facebook page have since reported receiving their flyers in the post a week after the meeting date. It's difficult to know whether this was an strategic move by Dandara or whether the post genuinely was delayed.
