Have your say – consultations and forums
Your views are important to us
The Council fully considers all of the comments received from consultations before decisions are made about changes to services or plans.
If you don't hear immediately about a consultation's outcome, don't think your views aren't being taken into account. It can take a while for all the relevant information to be collated and analysed before the results of a consultation are published.
So please read on if you would like to become part of local decision making, and find out how you can get involved.
