4. Strategy development engagement & draft strategy consultation planning
Engagement and consultation planning
Throughout the development of the draft LTP4 strategy we worked with stakeholder representatives, totalling around 100 people, as follows:
- Elected Member representation – reference group comprising members of the Place Scrutiny Committee
- County Council Officer representatives – cross directorate representation of directorates and services
- Local Stakeholder representation, representatives of local stakeholders including:
- Districts, Boroughs, National Park Authority and Sub National Transport Body – Transport for the South East.
- Transport operators and infrastructure providers.
- Business, culture and voluntary sectors.
- User groups.
In addition to the regular series of workshops with the above stakeholder representatives we also presented to other stakeholder groups on progress and key aspects emerging from the strategy development.
We also sought input on engagement approaches with stakeholders during the public consultation period and to promote the consultation as the public consultation period launch date approached. Such engagement included the following group types:
- Business representatives.
- Community groups and partnerships.
- Young people.
- Disability Groups.
- District, Boroughs and South Downs National Park.
- Transport operators.
- Other East Sussex County Council teams who would disseminate information to their networks (e.g. Public Health).
