Dear Mr Briggs

RE: Completion of Request (FOI Request No: FOI00569)

We received four written responses to the budget and priorities consultation advertised on our website. By way of comparison, we held consultation meetings in our villages and only had a small number of attendees, around 20 or 30.

We are conscious of the need to encourage further participation in future years and will be looking at other ways of doing this.

We trust this response will fully address your requirements. If however you consider that the response is unsatisfactory (e.g. not complete) then you should contact the FOI Compliance Officer:
