Public’s views sought on new Council action plans
17 June 2024
Derry City and Strabane District Council are seeking the public’s views on the Equality Impact Assessment of two new draft action plans.
The feedback is also being sought on new Draft Equality and Draft Disability Action Plans for 2024/26 and the Audit of Inequalities document which helped inform the two draft plans.
The documents can be viewed on Council’s website at derrystrabane.com/consultations where the public can give their views via an online survey.
Mayor of Derry City and Strabane, Councillor Lilian Seenoi Barr, urged the public to have their say so the plans can be tailored to meet their needs.
“The draft Equality and Disability plans are key elements of Council’s vision of building a thriving, prosperous and sustainable City and District with equality of opportunity for all,” said Councillor Barr.
“I would encourage people to access the equality impact assessment and the draft plans and give your views to ensure Council’s services meet the needs of everyone.
“In particular we are keen to receive evidence of inequalities or impacts that have not already been identified so we can take account of these in future service planning.”
As well as the online survey you can email [email protected] with your comments/feedback or contact the Council by telephone on 028 71 253 253 Ext 6705.
Council officers are also happy to facilitate meetings with key stakeholders to discuss the plans and this can be arranged at the contact details above.
The consultation will run from Monday June 17th until Monday September 9th 2024.
