Summarise a Consultation Period Feedback Report
Consultation feedback reports are large, overlapping, and full of individual voices. Decision-makers need the clear themes, the genuine tensions, and an honest read of the decision implications. This produces all four sections without overstating the mandate the consultation has conferred.

<task>
**Summarise the report in four sections for decision-makers:**
1. Volume and reach: who responded and what the response rate suggests about the significance of the feedback
2. The clear themes: the three to five issues that appeared consistently across responses, stated in the respondents' own terms where possible
3. The unresolved tensions: where the feedback contained genuine disagreement or competing priorities that cannot be resolved by simply acting on the majority view
4. The decision implications: what the consultation feedback suggests about the decisions or modifications needed, without overstating its mandate
Work only from the report provided. Note where claims about frequency are not supported by the data.
