Mayor Martyn Evans said the council was seeking feedback from community groups, residents, local business and industries, in relation to the development of a new strategic
plan which it has dubbed "Your Valley Your Voice 2030".
“Council is genuinely committed to listening to the thoughts and ideas from its community,” Cr Evans said in a statement issued by the council communications officer. “We want to hear your thoughts about how we can work together to make the Valley a better place.”
The schedule of community consultations included more than 40 "workshops, listening posts and other opportunities to have a say". Invitation-only sessions will also be held on specific subject areas.
"This will give council a great insight into how the community would like to plan for the Valley’s future," Cr Evans said. The consultations will start tomorrow, July 23, and conclude on July 31.
"It is a chance for the community to share ideas and voice how they want to develop and shape the Derwent Valley for the future," Cr Evans said.
The council website notes that additional sessions may be held and will be advertised via Facebook. Those unable to attend in person can submit their ideas online. Anonymous comments will not be accepted.
The council suggests the following "thought starters":
- what I love about the Derwent Valley...
- in 12 years’ time, I hope that the Derwent Valley is...
- my hope for the future is...
- what I would like to see in the Derwent Valley...
- what we should keep in Derwent Valley that is special...
