Powys County Council is currently consulting on it's Public Participation Strategy - a document setting out how they will engage with you and encourage you to participate in decision-making.
The Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021 requires all local authorities to prepare a Public Participation Strategy setting out how they will encourage local people to participate in decision-making.
Powys County Council believes all stakeholders, including residents, partners, and businesses should have opportunities to participate and engage, so their voices influence future decisions and service provision across Powys.
