Date: 07/02/2005 Target Audience: Residents
Service: Strategy and Development Sample size: 0
Methodology: Focus Group Response rate: 37
Carried out: In house % Response: n/a
Survey period: February - March 2005
Outcome: Consultation complete. Draft results being presented to senior officers for further discussion and actions arising. Nearly all of the organisations responding (90.2%) wanted to be involved in preparing the Local Development Framework and fourfifths (81%) wanted to be consulted about planning applications. The organisations were asked whether they would be prepared to join with others to discuss common issues and develop ideas with Borough Council officers. Again, nearly all respondents (90.3%) were willing to do this, although concern was expressed by one supportive organisation that meetings might be held at short notice. Another stressed the need to ensure that organisations of disabled people are fully engaged by making all events inclusive and independently accessible by all.
