CONSULTATION HUB
We believe that involving citizens in decisions which affect their lives is a means to develop an empowered and strong community and whilst we can’t force people to engage, but will do our best to make it easy and attractive for people to do so. When we want people’s views on a project, we will consult the community. Our ‘open’ (whole community) consultations will always run for at least six weeks and we will avoid running them over school summer holidays, Easter and Christmas.
Any consultations we run will be hosted here and we will always post a consultation report after each consultation.
