Consultations and engagement
Share your views on local plans, services, and developments that will help shape decisions that affect the community. Take part in open consultations, see what’s been decided from past ones, and stay informed about upcoming opportunities to give feedback.
Your voice matters!
Norwich City Council wants to hear from everyone who lives, works, or studies in our city. Through public consultations, you can help shape the decisions that affect your community, from parks and green spaces to housing, transport, and more.
What are consultations?
Consultations are your chance to share your views on council projects, policies, and services before decisions are made. Whether it’s a new play area, a housing strategy, or plans for the city centre, your feedback helps us make Norwich a better place for all.
