Type of Consultation

  • All WCN campaigns evidence- and consultation-based
  • Need multi-level consultation – what to protect and what to improve.
      • High level - find general areas of concern
      • Low level - focus on details
  • Use Whitby Parish as proof-of-concept, extend to District if trial successful.
