We want our community conversations to be accessible to everyone. If you are unable to complete an online survey, please contact us and we will do our best to provide an alternative format or support you to take part. You can always pop into our offices for a paper copy.

Can I have a survey or information in a different language?2026-06-17T11:45:13+01:00

How will my feedback be used?2026-06-17T11:47:09+01:00

Your feedback helps us understand community views, shape projects and inform future decisions. We will endeavour to share updates on what we heard and how feedback has influenced outcomes. We use a “you said, we did” approach.

Can young people get involved?2026-06-17T11:47:26+01:00

Yes. We want to hear from people of all ages and backgrounds and will work with schools, youth groups and community organisations where possible.

Will my feedback be anonymous?2026-06-17T11:47:48+01:00

This will depend on the type of engagement activity, but we will always explain how your information will be used and handled before you take part.
