Finding out your views: Community Consultation

Community consultation is a process where LCC asks members of the public their views on a particular issue, in order to inform decision making.

The County Council uses a range of methods to consult.  For example, residents may be invited to give their comments on a particular issue by letter, to complete a questionnaire, or to attend a discussion meeting or focus group. 

Lincolnshire County Council in partnership with District Councils, Lincolnshire Police & NHS Lincolnshire is currently developing a comprehensive directory of Community Groups.  This new directory will ensure groups are consulted about the services of Lincolnshire County Council and its partners.

We would like you to help us give the best service possible by providing details of your organisation to go into the community group database. Fill out the attached online form to get involved.
