In this section we are setting the scene for our commitment to
involving people who live, work and visit the County of
Herefordshire in decision making. For this purpose Herefordshire
Council has agreed a Strategy and an Action Plan, explaining how we
intend to put into action the commitment made in the Council's
Corporate Plan and the Community Strategy.
The Council's Community Involvement Strategy
Herefordshire Council has a strong tradition of engaging and consulting with local people and recognises and acknowledges the benefits that good quality community involvement offers to local communities, communities of interest and to Herefordshire Council and our partners. This commitment is also rooted in its core values. The Council has, through its commitment to delivering quality services and supporting the delivery of the Herefordshire Plan, been involved in a variety of good practice initiatives over recent years intended to drive up the levels and quality of community involvement in decision-making, both within the Council and externally.
In this section you will be able to find the Council's Community Involvement Strategy 2005 -2008, and the related Action Plan, which sets specific actions and desired outcomes from the Strategy.
