Event Details:
The New Deal for Communities programme and Development Trust commissioned Icon Events to organise a series of 3 community debates. In a culture of consultation overload these debates were organised to encourage local people to air their views, share their thoughts and find out more information about chosen topics. With a panel of experts chaired by the local Editor and resident the debating series challenged local viewpoints and enabled local people to put forward questions and thoughts on specific subjects. A pie and pea supper before the start of each event brought local residents and public sector deliverers and stakeholders together.
