We want to listen and learn from our residents, businesses and local community groups before we make decisions. This will sometimes mean we undertake time-bound consultation exercises.
Our consultations will…
be honest and transparent
We will be clear how we are involving people and what level of influence participants can have, including limitations such as resources or legal requirements.
be clearly communicated, visible and accessible
We will explain information clearly and provide a range of opportunities to get involved, to make it as easy as possible for people to have their say.
involve local councillors
We will ensure local councillors are aware of consultation activities and involved appropriately.
be coordinated, organised and timely
We will have clear plans to undertake consultations effectively, providing sufficient time for people to respond and for the feedback to be considered.
be flexible and subject to continuous improvement
We will respond to any changing needs of consultees and the organisation and take steps to ensure consultation meets our standards.
make a difference, and results will be shared with the public
We will analyse and consider all the feedback received, share our consultation findings and explain how we have responded to the key messages.
