Have your say

We want to hear your views about Council services, living in the town, or anything else you have an opinion about. The Council regularly consults with local residents, partners and other stakeholders. This enables customers and other interested parties to have opportunities to be involved in planning, prioritising and monitoring of services.

The Council is committed to asking local people for their views and opinions on particular issues or services in order to diagnose problems, assess service standards and check performance. These views can then be used to inform the decisions regarding the issue or service.

A variety of methods are used to engage the local community, such as:

• surveys and questionnaires
• community roadshows
• focus groups, and
• stakeholder conferences

Public consultation exercises coming up over the next few months

For more information about the Council's approach to consultation please contact the Policy and Partnerships team.
