What can I do?

Most imporantly, please contact or write to decision makers:

Please tell the decision makers that you dont support the Option 3b development, and that 88.2 % of people who made submissions on the Hyder plans preferred a smaller development than Option 3b.

If you need a quick visual refresher on the Panel findings,  and the campaign, see our Campaign Presentation. You may want to print it out if you have the opportunity to speak with a politician.
