How will you carry out your consultation and in what timescales? Public meetings/Local Authorities/key Stakeholders
We will share details of proposed changes with key stakeholders – Islands LAs and Islands Federation for their feedback on any specific impacts for island communities.
What questions will you ask when considering how to address island realities?
What are the positive/negative impacts for island communities? Are there any specific inter-island differences we need to consider?
Separate consultation events for Island communities/Local Authorities?
Yes – we will consult with Islands Federation and Island Local Authorities on the proposed changes separately.
