The online consultation is now closed. A debate / open consultation on this will be scheduled for early September to allow for wider dialogue and response. Once concluded, a summarised response will be shared here.

This consultation has been closed and a high-level analysis of responses can be seen here. To complete our full consultation, we have extended timescales to accommodate internal and external stakeholder debrief and dialogue sessions via MS Teams. These sessions provide opportunity to share your views with more detail and participate in open discussion in how we progress sustainability for all.

These sessions are:

• 18 Oct 24 (11.00-12.00) Internal
• 21 Oct 24 (09.00-10.00) Internal
• 25 Oct 24 (11.00-12.00) External
• 28 Oct 24 (09.00-10.00) External

Following these sessions, we will compile a final report on findings and recommendations that will be shared on this site. If any policy changes are required these will be subsequently progressed.
