Local and Stakeholder Engagement
Helping communities have a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their future
Strong communities are built when local people, organisations and businesses have meaningful opportunities to shape the places where they live and work.
FB Community Consultancy works with parish and town councils, local authorities, voluntary and community organisations and other local partners to design and deliver inclusive, practical and proportionate community and stakeholder engagement.
With local government structures changing and the role of parish and town councils evolving, understanding local priorities, strengthening community voice and maintaining a strong sense of place and local identity are increasingly important.
Whether you are responding to Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), considering changes through a Community Governance Review, developing a community or neighbourhood plan, reviewing local services and assets, or simply wanting to understand your community better, we can help.
