Case Study: Neighbourhood Council
This organisation had recently been involved in the negotiation with the District Council of the representation of the local community's views regarding a local park. The organisation were keen to have a document setting out terms of reference for the District Council and organisation discussing the local issues together.
The organisation already had a template drawn up which they were hoping to use. The objectives of the document were discussed with the organisation to establish what the document was intended to achieve. I supported the organisation by making constructive suggestions for the layout, and content of the document. Including ensuring the document had an appropriate title to ensure it was clear, who the terms of reference were between.
The organisation now has a set of Terms of Reference that they were happy with, and that they could propose were used with the District Council.
