Community Engagement Strategy

Mawnan Parish Council has developed a Community Engagement Strategy, to create a common standard for engagement with residents and its partners.

The council realises that the services it provides should reflect the needs of its residents and the locality. Local people must be have more influence over services and action, and be involved in decisions affecting them and their local area, and in the shaping the future of their locaility.

The Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill places a duty on local government to engage with the communities they serve. The aim of Mawnan's Community Engagement Strategy is to improve the way in which the council engages and consults its residents and partners on important issues.

This will ensure that they are fully informed, consulted and involved, and that everyone is included in the engagement process, even people who are hardest to reach or consult with. This includes the young, elderly and infirm. Residents' views will be heard and used to develop, enhance and improve services, the environment and their quality of life.
