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

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.
