Cornwall Council online residents' panel
You can sign up to the Council's online residents' panel which gives you the opportunity to comment on and take part in Council consultations and surveys.
Current consultations
Our latest consultations, with links to the surveys, are listed by closing date below:
- We are consulting on proposed term dates for Community and Voluntary Controlled schools for the academic years 2020/21 and 2021/22. These dates would apply to all Community and Voluntary Controlled schools in Cornwall. Foundation, Trust, Voluntary Aided schools and Academies are able to set their own term dates. The proposed dates have been discussed with other south west local authorities and we believe offer good consistency with our closest neighbours.The consultation closes on 15 February 2019.
- We are seeking views on the Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP) 2019-2022 for the Isles of Scilly Fire and Rescue Service. The results and findings will be fed back, reviewed and incorporated to help shape the focus and activities of the Isles of Scilly Fire and Rescue Service over the next three years. Consultation closes on 28 February 2019.
- St. Mawgan-in-Pydar Parish Council and Cornwall Council are working in partnership to conduct an online survey to establish the need for housing and help to ascertain what kind of housing, including affordable housing local people in the parish need. The results of this survey will help the Parish Council in planning for future development. Please complete this survey even if you are already registered with Cornwall Homechoice or Help to Buy South-West. The consultation closes 8 March 2019.
- Liskeard local residents and businesses are invited to help shape the future of the town’s cattle market site by taking part in Cornwall Council’s first ever Charrette programme.
