Charnwood Borough Council - Leading in Leicestershire

There are different types of current consultations. They can be:

A. "Limited Time" consultations, which are those that are carried out over a set period of time and have a deadline for responding. These are used when we are looking for information and views to inform things such as next year's budget, planning what a service will do next year or introducing a new service. These may be a one off (for a specific project) or done an regular basis (such as satisfaction with services surveys). The latter are unlikely to happen more than a couple of times a year.

B. "On-Going" consultations are those which, as the name suggests, keep going. These are used when we want your views and ideas all the time such as complaints, comments and compliments and customer service feedback.We also use this type for some of our policies and documents which need to be changed regularly to reflect the changing world we live in.
