Even if you do not feel as though you can respond to every question, that’s fine, but we need every civic society to make a representation about the following three points:
- We welcome the opportunity for earlier and more meaningful engagement, but not at the expense of reducing the right for communities to make representations at a later stage.
- We welcome aspirations for best in class engagement, but this means following through with meaningful time and a meaningful role.
- We welcome the implementation of digital for consultation, but we cannot replace or remove physical consultation
If you do not respond to this consultation, yet to Government takes forward its reforms, can you really challenge them in the future?
- If you need support in responding, do let us know via info@civicvoice.org.uk.
