Consultations, surveys and public notices

We ensure that services meet the needs and expectations of the community by regularly engaging with you and consulting with individuals, organisations and businesses. We do this through the decision making process.

We will seek your views on a number of areas. These include:

  • Reviewing the direction of the council
  • Helping us to build active, healthy, successful and safe communities
  • Setting the council’s budget and council tax
  • Taking major decisions about council policy
  • Reviewing and improving the quality of life in the area
  • Reviewing and improving service design, delivery and access
  • Receiving feedback on performance and satisfaction levels
  • Allowing people to raise issues of importance to them.

The Consultation and Engagement Strategy for 2023 – 2026 aims to support our ambition of making North Lincolnshire the best place for our residents.

Consultations

Article 4 Direction: Small Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in Scunthorpe

We’re seeking views on the introduction of a new planning control, known as an Article 4 Direction, to help regulate the creation of new small HMOs in Scunthorpe.

The direction only applies to the conversion of ‘small HMOs’, which have between three and six unrelated occupiers. ‘Large HMOs’, which are occupied by more than six unrelated occupiers, are already subject to planning permission.

Read more details and have your say on the Scunthorpe Article 4 Direction webpage.

 

Surveys

Have your say: Tell health bosses your priorities for Scunthorpe General Hospital

North Lincolnshire Council has launched a six-week public survey to give residents a strong voice in shaping the future of Scunthorpe General Hospital.

The feedback will help the council build a clear case to lobby for extra investment and help secure the improvements our hospital needs. Residents are urged to use the survey as their chance to influence priorities and make sure our community gets the best possible healthcare for years to come.

Please tell us about your experiences, priorities, and ideas for strengthening local healthcare.

The results will be analysed and presented in a report to the North Lincolnshire Health and Wellbeing Board to help inform future discussions with NHS partners.

Have your say on life in North Lincolnshire

Residents of North Lincolnshire are invited to share their views on what they love about their local area and what could be improved.

The Residents’ Survey is now open, offering an opportunity for people to express their thoughts on life in their community, how they feel the council is performing, and what they’d like to see in the future.

The survey asks what is working well, where there is room for improvement, and what matters most to residents and their communities.

It covers a range of topics, from local neighbourhoods and council services to future plans and priorities for North Lincolnshire.

Feedback from the survey will help shape the council’s plans and priorities for the years ahead.

Residents can complete the survey online. Alternatively, printed copies are available at local Community Hubs, where staff are on hand to assist with completing the survey.

It only takes a few minutes to complete, but the impact could be significant.

The survey will remain open until the end of the year.

 

Community activities at the Baths Hall and Plowright Theatres

This survey has been designed to gather your views regarding the community activities and events we can offer at The Baths Hall and Plowright Theatre. Your responses will be used to help us to shape our future community activities programme at both our venues, and to support local communities to flourish.

There are a total of 7 questions and completion of this survey should not take any longer than 10 minutes.

Tell us what it’s like living in your community

North Lincolnshire Council has the ambition to be the #BestPlace for our residents and to achieve better outcomes for the people and place of North Lincolnshire.

One of our priorities is to ‘Enable Resilient and Flourishing Communities’, and to help us achieve this together, we want to understand what it is like to live in your community.

We have developed the ‘our community’ tool which is designed to capture your views of your community, asking a number of questions about your lived experience, against the council’s four outcomes of:

  • Safe
  • Well
  • Prosperous
  • Connected.

The information you provide will be used to determine where we can work together to make your community a better place to live.
