Scalloway Community Council - Consultation Engagement

Scalloway Community Council, in Shetland, has led on the development of a local place plan. With funding from Scottish Government’s Making Places initiative and support from Shetland Islands Council’s Planning Department and Community Planning & Development service, the community council successfully engaged with the village in a variety of ways to make sure that individuals, organisations, and businesses had the opportunity to share their ideas on what is working well in the area and what action and developments they would like to see going forward.

Here are Scalloway Community Council’s tips on how to engage the community in consultation. While these examples were used to help develop a local place plan as part of the Recreate Scalloway project, we hope you also find the information useful for more general local consultations.
