We started consulting on our new plan in late 2020 during a very uncertain time. We could not foresee a time when we could responsibly gather people together so conducted a number of online surveys.
Formal community consultation took place in the summer and autumn 2021 and was done using a variety of methods. We commissioned a creative consultation that set up a living room in 3 outdoor locations across 3 days where people could chat in a fun and friendly setting. There was also a complimentary online survey and surveys were also distributed through schools and via Moorsley Hut.

This new 3 year plan for the 3 Together Big Local replaces, yet compliments the findings of the last 2 plans. It has the advantage and understanding of:
• Changes that have taken place in the area since we began
• Progress we have already made
• An opportunity to review and learn
• New ideas and suggestions for action have been gathered by continued consultation
• An increase in confidence, skill and capacity of the Decision Making Panel (DMP) and wider partnership
