Consultations
When a decision is likely to affect individuals, businesses or organisations, the council seeks their views before taking the decision.
Where the decision is likely to have an impact on the general public, a special consultation process is held to gather the views of the community. The consultation may take the form of a questionnaire, public meetings, exhibitions, posters or all of these, depending on the issue.
We regularly carry out consultation exercises before taking decisions on council services and strategies - here you can find out information on current consultations.
A direct feedback form is included in each consultation.
Dog Fouling Public Spaces Protection Order
We are considering introducing a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) to help promote responsible dog ownership and provide enforcement powers where dog owners fail to remove dog mess from public areas.
Your feedback will help us make sure that the PSPO balances the needs of dog owners with those of other parks and green space users and the wider community. Find out more and complete the survey via the button below.
