Primary Consultation - In April 2005, there was substantial additional consultation specific to the Community Strategy Final Version that involved a consultation event on each of the five inhabited Islands. There was an evening event on each off-island and a Saturday consultation on St.Mary's. The community was asked to comment on what they felt Council priorities should be against the following headings from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister:
- Providing excellent services for children, young people and families;
- Promoting healthy and inclusive communities, including working toward meeting the housing needs of our community;
- Promoting economic vitality;
- Protecting our outstanding natural environment;
- Meeting the local transport and local infrastructure needs of our community
Over a hundred people attended the consultation events with representation from each Island. All the views and opinions were typed up and grouped to form the basis of the objectives set out in the Community Strategy Final Version. Many of these objectives strongly reflected existing consultation results from an earlier survey.
In addition, a consultation event was held in May 2005 at the Five Island's School that captured the views of all secondary children and Year 6 pupils. Further consultation has been undertaken with young people in relation to the Every Child Matters agenda. The results of all this primary consultation have shaped the objectives in section 6 of the Community Strategy Final Version. In addition, further consultation will be undertaken with all key stakeholders and partners and further revisions are anticipated.
An analysis of the consultation is available from Suzanne Pender - Modernisation
