  The extent of public concern was demonstrated by the very high turnout: people who could not fit into the large hall had to listen from adjoining rooms and hallways.
  
  The public’s concern has been fuelled by the fact that the councillors who voted in One Barnet admitted that none of them had read the agreement they signed because – at over 2,000 pages - it was too long for them to read, and too complex for them to understand."
