We are updating our current Community Involvement Strategy, with some additional elements to meet new requirements under the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021. The revised Public Participation Strategy now includes a greater focus on how the public can get involved in the Council’s democratic decision-making processes.
This Strategy sets out how Conwy County Borough Council wants to make sure the people who live in, work in and visit Conwy County are informed, included and listened to in the delivery of Council services, making lives better for our communities.
The Council has a legal duty to encourage people to participate in what it does, providing continual opportunities for people to have a say and input into how decisions are made and how services are delivered.
We are committed to ensuring that our engagement is a two-way process, including listening to the voice of our citizens, communities, staff, elected members and partners when shaping decisions, services and policies that affect them.
We are required to have this strategy in place for each political term of the elected Council, and as such it will be reviewed and updated following each of the scheduled local government elections.
The draft has already been considered by the Democratic Services Committee and we would now welcome views, prior to its approval by Council and final publication.
