Our community engagement strategy sets out how the council will make sure everyone feels included, listened to and involved in council decision making.

One of the main objectives of this strategy is to create a culture in the council where all councillors and council officers recognise the importance of inclusive engagement and consultation with residents.

We are also committed to making our communications in print and digital format more accessible and inclusive.
