Consultation process
The proposal has been developed by the Venues Service and presented for comments to Portfolio Holders and stakeholder internal services.
Subject to Cabinet approval of project themes, a wider public stakeholder group will be formed so that community groups and residents who regularly use town halls, either as customers or visitors, can take a key role in developing proposals for our buildings.
