Consultation and engagement

We want to give residents a say in shaping services and the future of the District

We actively seek participation from a wider audience, in order to ensure that consultations consider the full range of opinions, and to ensure that the decisions we make are guided by a real appreciation of the views of the residents and people of the District. We consider each individual contribution to the consultation process.

Occasionally, we will consult the residents of the District by direct engagement, by post or through our publications. However, in order to ensure that the process is cost effective, most consultations take place online where you can view and submit contributions.

In this section you will be able to:

• take part in the current consultation activities and help shape the future of the District
• find out about our recent consultations and how they have informed decisions. The information is available in table form and via a calendar.
• share your ideas on how we could improve service delivery or improve the district
• find out ways of getting involved in community activity through our "people can" initiative
• submit your details if you would like to take part in future consultations and surveys as part of our citizen panel.
