The question on this page asks you about the proposed changes to this element of the draft policy. If you would like to read the rationale, please click on the drop down link.

Public consultation on events (Category A, B, C)

Proposed change: Residents and local groups (including Management Advisory Committees/Friends) must be consulted about minimising and mitigating the impact of all Category B (2,500-5,000 attendees) and Category C (5,000-10,000 attendees) events. More consultation and engagement is required for larger events than smaller events. You can see more detail on the requirements for different event sizes in the policy document.

Current policy: The current policy limits consultation and engagement to Friends groups and Management Advisory Committees. There is no consultation and engagement with other groups or residents. 

Rationale for change: To ensure meaningful engagement and consultation takes place with residents and key stakeholders.
