Consultation

At Forest Heath District Council: 

  • we want people to feel part of their community
  • we want people to work together to improve the quality of life for all
  • we value diversity

We want to learn more about what local people think about the council and the way we deliver our services. We have a Consultation and Community Engagement Strategy that outlines the council's approach to consultation and community involvement.

We have an Equality Policy at the council which will shape the way we engage isolated or minority groups. We want to have an inclusive community where people feel their opinions are listened to and valued.

We are a partner in the Western Suffolk Local Strategic Partnership (WSLSP) and by supporting the work of the WSLSP, we are helping to promote joint working with our partners.


We will not be able to consult people on every decision and indeed, it would be unfair to raise expectations by carrying out unnecessary consultation exercises. This is why all our consultation will be done in a fair, ethical and responsible way. We will make it clear to people whether we are information sharing, consulting or encouraging participation in decision making.

The local councillors and senior officers of the council endorse the view that local people should have a say in the way the council runs its business.
