LNRS Development
The LNRS development has been evidence-based, locally led and collaborative, ensuring a range of stakeholders are consulted throughout the process. Thank you to all who took part.
The LNRS Engagement process involved a public survey to gather thoughts and ideas on the development of the LNRS. There were 568 responses to the survey.
The LNRS Public Consultation ran throughout September via Warwickshire County Council.
Consultation responses have been reviewed and analysed, and changes have been made to Warwickshire's LNRS where appropriate.
When available, a Responses and Actions Tracker will be published below, displaying Warwickshire County Council's responses to anonymised consultation comments.
