Community Consultation Handbook

Derbyshire County Council and Derbyshire Rural Community Council (DRCC) have joined forces to produce the community consultation handbook "Local Voices - Local Action".

The 80-page brochure provides a starting point for groups to follow the Local Agenda 21 programme, which is a community-led approach to establishing local views and opinions to help develop sustainable societies and improve the quality of life in urban and rural areas.

The handbook offers tips and guidance on consultation techniques such as questionnaire design, ideas to develop practical projects, tips on fund-raising, dozens of useful contacts and advice on how to organise and run events.
