Consultation

We are committed to consulting local people on local issues, on the work that we do, and the priorities and aspirations for the borough. 

What is consultation?

Consultation is a process of dialogue leading to a decision. Consultation involves seeking opinions on options before decisions are reached, seeking to increase the involvement of local people, communities, businesses and the voluntary sector in important decisions that may impact them. The main aim of consultation is to listen to and learn from local people and communities. 

We also have a responsibility to formally consult on any environmental permit applications, you can view these and find out more on our environmental permitting page

Help shape the future of Tamworth's rivers

The River Tame and River Anker run right through the heart of Tamworth and we want your help to make the most of them. In partnership with the Environment Agency, Tamworth Borough Council and local partners, are working together on a long term vision for our rivers and the green spaces around them. 

Whether you walk along the riverbank, spend time in the parks nearby, or simply want to see these spaces thrive, your voice matters. Tell us what you love about the river areas today, what could work better, and what you'd like to see in years to come. 

This is a chance to help create safer, cleaner and more welcoming spaces that we can all be proud of, now and for generations to come. Every response helps build a clearer picture of what our community needs, so we can protect these much-loved spaces and help them flourish.

Citizens Panel: 

We are always looking for more residents who are interested in having their say on council services to join our citizens’ panel.

Our citizens’ panel is a group of local residents who we ask about local services. If you join, we'll contact you three or four times a year highlighting consultations and surveys. There is no obligation to take part, you can join whichever interest you the most.

You may also be invited to take part in discussion groups or workshops.

The results are then used to inform decisions about how we deliver our services. Complete our short application form to join the panel.
