It is envisaged that the Council will actively engage with the residents of the surrounding areas during the public consultation process. This engagement may take many forms including, but not limited to; information leaflets, questionnaires, workshop type meetings, questionnaires, door to door surveys etc. It is not decided as yet what form the public consultation may take; however it is recommended that, due to the dispersed nature of the proposals that the public consultation process be quite expansive and includes at a minimum the residential areas and the teachers and parents of the local school population as proposed by Motion No. 9 of this meeting.
