Yes of course they are, in the same way objectors are allowed to canvass for objections.  We've had an opinion from a international legal firm that studied our processes and they concluded that there is no reason why councils should not upload and report on the comments from post-app engagement from Your Shout. Indeed they conclude that there is a small JR risk if the council does not take these comments into account. 

Lots of people do.  You probably know yourself lots of people who believe in development, but never actually make their voice heard - they are called the "silent majority".  We all know that younger people tend to be in favour, as do some other demographics.  Our job is to find them.

Most certainly.  We organise exhibitions, and have our own consultation portal, communityUK.  We organise workshops, charettes, talk to stakeholders and politicians.  We produce SCIs - or Statements of Community Involvement.  In fact, we do all the things you'd expect a consultation company to do, and more.

Yes, it's a matter of public record that several of our schemes we worked on have benefited from having thousands of letters of support. Of course, if you just want to identify 50 residents to write letters, we can do that too.
