As you rightly state Nigel it is the context of the meeting that is the problem rather than the meeting itself.
EH have not kept the public informed, the meeting they are now holding should have been held four years ago. The peer group as they call it should have all been kept informed in detail and been part of a decision process.
I too am concerned that the meeting may be a "blatant attempt to get off that simple hook of public accountability" but I remain open minded and that may not be the case.
My big concerns amongst so many is that EH will go back on the polystyrene being "temporary", and that the empty bits of the 68 tunnel may be used as an excuse to go all the way back in.
I would also want to see the traps changed for gates.
