People in local communities are missing out because the council does not support the costs of printing or translation of leaflets connected to Local Place Plans (LPPs). Community groups say that not everyone in the area can contribute or participate easily as English is not their first language and so leaflets translated into other languages are a necessity. There are many ways community groups can take action to make their plans as inclusive as they can. Local Place Plans have been brought in to reflect this. Producing a Local Place Plan gives you a chance to shape the future of your local area by creating a plan that addresses local needs or concerns.”The council budget will be set in February 2026.
