Consultation has concluded

The Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021 requires all local authorities to prepare a Public Participation Strategy setting out how they will encourage local people to participate in decision-making.

We believe all stakeholders, residents, partners, and businesses should have opportunities to participate and engage, so their voices influence future decisions and service provision across Powys. Our drafted strategy sets out the vision for public participation over the next three years.

As part of the development process we would like your views on the draft public participation strategy (which has been prepared in accordance with Welsh Government guidance).

    New Public Participation Strategy


    A new Public Participation Strategy, setting out the vision for public participation in Powys, has been published, the county council has said.

    The council carried out a 12-week public consultation on the draft strategy towards the end of 2022.

    The Democratic Services Committee considered the consultation report, and the updated strategy document, and gave the go-ahead for it to be published last month (Friday 17 February).

    Cllr James Gibson-Watt, Leader and Cabinet Member for an Open and Transparent Powys, said: “I would like to thank everyone that gave feedback on the draft strategy during the consultation period.

    “The strategy links nicely with our new Corporate and Strategic Equality Plan and will be used to guide us towards a more collaborative culture of participation and engagement with our local communities, creating a Stronger, Fairer, Greener Powys that we can all be proud of.”

    The strategy, a legal requirement for all local authorities, was prepared in accordance with Welsh Government guidance to set out how the council will encourage local people to participate in decision-making.
