Description

The Jubilee and Parish Legacy Select Committee met on Tuesday, 2 June 2026, marking a pivotal transition from framework development to active community engagement with the launch of the Public Consultation Phase. Following the statutory election of the committee's leadership for the 2026/27 municipal year and the approval of the annual accounts, members focused entirely on establishing the infrastructure for resident feedback. The committee finalized the strategic placement of physical survey drop-points across all parish wards to ensure geographic accessibility, successfully verified the functionality of the new online feedback portal, and approved a comprehensive work programme designed to guarantee every resident a democratic voice in shaping the legacy fund’s distribution.
