CGR Terms of Reference 2021-2022
Consultation
The Council is required to consult the local government electors for the area under review and any other person or body who appears to have an interest in the review and to take the representations that are received into account. The Council will also identify any other person or body who it feels may have an interest in the review and invite them to submit their views at all stages of the consultation.
Before making any recommendations or publishing final proposals, an appropriate consultation process will form part of the review to take full account of the views of local people and other stakeholders. The Council will comply with the statutory consultative requirements by:
- consulting local government electors for the area under review;
- consulting any other person or body (including a local authority) which appears to the Council to have an interest in the review; and,
- taking into account any representations received in connection with the review.
The Council will publicise the review on its website and with information available at appropriate Council Offices on request.
The methods of consultation will be those deemed appropriate for the proposals concerned. This may include a webpage created for the review containing all relevant information, briefing notes sent to appropriate town and parish councils and area boards, and press releases at appropriate stages.
