Community Cohesion Strategy - Online Consultation Form

This Strategy has been developed by the Council through the Community Cohesion Co-ordination Group and in consultation with the Wrexham Local Service Board.

Our intention is that this first Community Cohesion strategy will:

Make clear how in the first 3 years of the Strategy we will develop processes to communicate more effectively with our diverse communities. This will help us to shape and inform all future strategies;
Make clear how baseline community cohesion information will be collected and shared; and
Clarify some direct action that will support cohesion at a community level.

We acknowledge that developing a picture of local cohesion is an evolving process. Based on feedback to this draft Strategy and implementation of the agreed Strategy we will continue to develop our understanding of what is important locally and the measures we must take to support cohesion.

Please complete the questions set out below. We have left space for any additional thoughts and comments you may have.

Deadlines for responses: 3 June 2008
