We are running a series of in person events during the consultations. If you would like to find out more, you can come along to any of the following events and speak to us about both the Local Plan and the Local Transport Plan. There will also be the opportunity to complete the consultations in alternative formats, should you not be able to complete the surveys online.

Join the conversation 

Both plans are happening at the same time and support each other. 

Help us shape the future by taking part in the surveys. Your voice matters. 

You can comment on the Local Plan, and comment on the Local Transport Plan.

The consultations run from 18 August to 13 October. All feedback will be reviewed before we prepare for the next stage of plans.

Other pop-up events

Councillors are also hosting their own local events, which may focus on specific areas. We’ll keep you updated as more are organised.
