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.
