In May 2024, the NEIC Initiative asked people to share their experiences, opinions and suggestions to help create a strategy until 2027. People were also asked to share their views on policing, education and training, family and youth wellbeing, community, the physical environment, substance abuse and healthcare. This is the first time such an extensive consultation has been used to inform the planning process.
The below document is a summary of what people said online, at drop-in sessions or in focus groups representing different groups in the area.
