Consultation events organised by Norfolk County Council and our Partners
To help make our consultation accessible to a wide range of people, we are holding events for the following groups: Physical Disabilities; Learning Disabilities; Carers; Older People; Children and Young People; Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic; and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans.
In addition, we are working with our partners to hold events for Town and Parish Councils and for Voluntary and Community Sector organisations.
These events will look at all the Council’s draft proposals, and provide an opportunity for residents from these groups and organisations to discuss any issues arising from the proposals that have a particular impact on them.
Please find the dates for all events below. Attendance at an event must be booked in advance. Please see information at the end of this section on who can attend, how to book and accessibility.
