The Policy Manager presented an updated Community Engagement Strategy for the Council for Members’ consideration.
Cabinet was advised that the Community Engagement Strategy had been reviewed to help ensure that the Council could continue to engage effectively with local stakeholders. The Covid-19 pandemic had impacted both on how the Council conducted engagement and on how people chose to engage with the authority. There were some key points that needed to be taken into account when amending the strategy, including the Council’s equalities duties and the statutory engagement requirements for certain departments, such as the Planning Service. Members were also asked to note that different stakeholders would potentially choose to engage with the Council in different ways.
RESOLVED that the Community Engagement Strategy be noted and endorsed.
