NALC launches its latest online event on community engagement

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) has added a new online event on local (parish and town) councils and community engagement, which takes place on 25 January 2023.

Engagement with residents for local (parish and town) councils is more crucial than ever. But not all local councils or principal authorities do this, or at least not well enough – so local councils must develop a community engagement strategy.

Most local council areas have permanent residents who use all or most facilities and services and visitors who stay for a short time using far fewer. Local councils must be able to gather views from all people who live and visit their communities to provide value-for-money services and assets and to listen and act on feedback to improve a place.

Join us to learn how to engage with residents, which consultation methods to use, and how to involve people in local council decisions.
