New Local Plan

Representation ID: 3307

Received: 14/03/2019

Respondent: Mr Ian McLernon

Representation Summary:

Active and Involved - Needs to be supported by policy, Officer and Member behaviours, otherwise risk disengaging with local residents and undermining this objective.

Residents views should be taken into account and acted on. Where this is not possible SBC should feedback to residents explaining why, and trying to convince residents what the wider benefits will be.

Residents in Wellington do not feel they are represented, their views are not taken into account and members only visit when they want a vote.

Behaviours must change otherwise your will disengage the community
