We want your views

Consultation is important: as a council, we need to know that the decisions we make take into account the views of the people of Nottinghamshire.

Consultation - involving the public in the work of local government - has become an integral part of the policy-making process.

It’s not simply about more open-government, although that too is important, it’s about making policies more effective by listening to and taking on-board the views of the public and interested groups.

Get involved

We publish our proposed, current and completed consultations so that we can inform and involve you in the key council decisions.

You can also register to be kept informed on proposed and current consultation.

Public engagement policy

We have a public engagement policy. This helps us to ensure that we keep the people of Nottinghamshire at the heart of everything we do.

Consultation guides

We have produced a series of guides to good consultation. They cover topics including planning consultations, designing questionnaires, and analysing the results.
