Our engagement strategy will take a digital first approach, but not digital only. We will utilise online forms, social media, email and updates to our website to provide information regarding the progress of the new Local Plan.

Throughout the plan period we will publish a news article on our website every two months to provide short updates on how the Local Plan is progressing. This is to ensure we share information in small, manageable and easily accessible ways.

During consultations we will support non-digital communication with in-person events. These will include drop-in events and targeted workshops to provide information face to face, allow people to ask questions and invite discussion. In addition, throughout the plan period we will share our newsletter updates to groups and organisations we are already meeting to ensure this is also communicated in-person.
